We once insured our son's bike when he went to Uni as a miscellaneous bicylce. It got nicked & when we claimed were told we should have specified the miscellaneous bike.
Was it not a Unicycle ?

Fair play! I was hoping for another acronym.

That's not an acronym, it's an abbreviation.

All very ingenious, but you can buy a 12V Cigar Lighter Plug, with a built in USB port. I have used the 12 V Plug to power the GPS while using a USB cable to charge the mobile phone. Only 1 12V Port needed.

The problem is that a lot of the chargers are not a good fit in the 12V cigar lighter plug. Unfortunately there are two standards for cigar lighter plugs, this often means poor connections. Naturally they were never really intended to be used as power sources. A decent USB socket will always give a good connection. 12-volt cigar lighter receptacle and plug, size A
Receptacle inside diameter: 20.93 - 21.01 mm (median 20.97 mm)
Plug body diameter: 20.73 - 20.88 mm (median 20.805 mm)
Most often used in American automobiles.
12-volt cigar lighter receptacle and plug, size B
Receptacle inside diameter: 21.41 - 21.51 mm (median 21.455 mm)
Plug body diameter: 21.13 - 21.33 mm (median 21.18 mm)
Most often used in European automobiles, and sometimes as a second socket in American automobiles expressly for DC power connections. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette_lighter_receptacleA better plug for power applications and charging is the ISO 4165 connector but it is more difficult to find adaptors for this type of socket.
