i used to fill the kettle and switch on, then turn off the remote socket, take remote to bed and flick the remote socket back on in the morning, voila a boiled kettle without getting out of bed,   then you 'inform' your kids to make the tea!!  bonus!! 

we have been using them for heating appliances for years with no problems, but might alter from one set to another, we have used Tesco and Asda ones.

Do you mean remote switches?                                                                                 

I have never heard of remote sockets.

I suppose they are remote controlled swiched plug socket adaptors.

As title states, start your holiday as you mean to go on , anyone use them to turn light off while in bed, put kettle on from the comfort of the camp bed, turn heater on before you get up?

Thinking of getting a set as part of my camping set up
