I run my laptop, modem and phone off 1 x 4 plug extension connector. The other side of my lounge I run my TV, Sky+ box and DVD player off a 'surgeguard' 4 way connector.
Both have a mixture of standard, adaptor and transformer type plugs.
I think I got the surgeguard at a supermarket. Hopefully it works.

As for the lappy, modem and phone, I am looking to get a Belkin which has the phone sockets too, but am not sure which one? Some reviews (amazon) say the switch on the surge protector is too delicate and they lose unsaved work. Any recomms? cheers.

Similar to the two previous replies from other forum members here is the ones that I use, its made by Masterplug.

http://www.masterplug.com/

A few weeks ago ALDI UK were selling the screwfix one at £14.99 but cant see it on the site just now but it may still be available in some stores.

The unit is well packaged and comes with a load of BT cables and good instructions and has a protection warranty, see the MASTERPLUG site link.

Hope this helps anyone looking for one

thanks guys. Can you get one that does all it needs to but isn't a tower design? My lounge is small and it would be an eyesore. cheers.
