Sorted!     

That's what I'm seriously thinking   

I was going to suggest that too 
But for a proper tunnie bodge.......dont  buy one...
Buy a 13amp plug fitted with 13 amp fuse.....buy 5amp lighting circuit cable (coz its cheaper) then buy a double socket and back box. Wire up and plug in a couple of 4 way adaptors (2 quid each from The Range.

Have you been in my shed?
'cept I didn't get the double socket and back box - just took the plugs off the 4-way extensions, and twisted + sellotaped the light flex to it.
It's earthed tho! six inch nail into the side of the path, then another piece of lighting flex (actually, I think it's a bit of wire I had left over when I did the towbar lectrics) tied to it.

If that's 1.5mm˛ T&E you are referring to, that will withstand up to 18A in open air.
