Trouble is, as has been pointed out in earlier threads on this topic, those cute little overloads in the power strips are not especially reliable.

As I recall, Trumpy had one (10A) which held on up to about 30A before going up in smoke.

Almost as bad as daisy-chaining these things is the power strip with coffee pot, microwave, etc all plugged in, the plastic around the socket turning a sick brown colour from the overload, and nobody even noticing the hazard steaming away under their noses.
