  I've never really understood who it is that needs these, has any one ever lost an electrical item to a power surge or even know someone that has?

  They may have had some shockingly bad advice

  How would I find out if this is national? Based on the previous £1 usb sockets which were the same brand, I'm guessing it is national and they're clearing masterplug stock.

  If you value your tv or pc or other expensive electrical equipment I'd say get them but like me who doesnt like the thought of having a surge and getting my pc fried like I've had before then these are cheap and yes the insurance does work!
  
  Most people dont care about their stuff these days in our throwaway society, £1 isnt lost if these work :)

  yes, i have had a power surge at a cottage i lived in once that took out the power on my Television and a video recorder (remember them)...Any electrical item is vulnerable, dont forget that resistors and capacitors all have a value that they can work up to, a big power spike usually rips through that..

  Great deal but remember with these style of surge protector; once the protect they're in the bin - the more expensive ones have replaceable fuses in the units themselves. Day to day this will also iron out the lumps as any other surge protector will do.

  Lost a TV once to a lightning strike - fortunately only a rental.
  
  Note, HomePlug networking devices do not work if plugged into a surge-protected circuits.

  most electrical items have built in protection but i guess if this wasnt working properly then at lest you have this strip as a back up - then again these strips may only work once and unless there is an indicator on the strip then you wont know if its still working - line conditioners are better but they arent cheap

  Wrong they do, i have several connected this way and they work faultlessly - i suspect there may be some degradation though - manufacturers are just covering themselves

  what do you mean ion out the lumps (spikes?) - thats what a line conditioner does, surge protectors do not iron out spikes

  i use a ups - due to all the kit ive got it only lasts about 2 mins but at least it protects the kit and importantly cleanly shuts down the pc
