No I can't.  But I would ask that you turn off the caps lock.  When you have all capitals it looks like you are shouting.

Sockets are the round two pin type.



As you can see in the above piccie, this is what we used to use for Houx. The orange lead is an external type camping cable with the standard exterior round sockets (one male, one female). You then need a two pin plug with female round socket as seen towards the top of the picture. This is what plugs into the hook-up. And we then use a male round socket to standard UK three pin plug socket into which we plug an RCD. These can be seen at the bottom of the pic. We then plug 4-way extension leads into this.

You will also need a very, very long cable.

a doubler is also useful as there aren't usually enough outlets on the tower so you can unplug someone and plug them and you into a doubler.  Duct tape is also useful so that you don't find yourself permanently unplugged...

Well, duct tape or a couple of bits of exposed copper.
