Is It All Right to Plug a Multi-Socket in an Adapter?
Tomorrow, I'm moving to the UK (yay!)
I lived in France for 3 years, and everything has European Sockets.
I've got for now one Adaptator That goes from European Sockets to UK Sockets. And I was simply wondering if it was ok to plug a 6-EU Multi-Socket into an Adapter?
A 600w PC and a 2k144hz screen will be plugged in it, and maybe a lamp, and sometimes my phone charging
Practically, yes, it works and is reasonably safe (unless the adapter is cheap garbage). Make sure the adapter has a fuse.
Long term, you could also consider replacing the plug on one of the multi-sockets with a UK plug.
However, the PC almost certainly uses a standard C13 cable. If the monitor also has a cable like that (e.g. a C13 or C5 going to the power supply), consider just buying replacement cables with UK plugs.

Alternatively, just ask your new neighbours for one. I doubt there's very many households in the UK without a few spare kicking around!
Turned off the PC to check the plug and it is indeed a C13 Cable, more specifically a Type O with Ground Plug to C13, that I've been using since March when I got the PSU
The Monitor is a Portable one (I found exactly what I wanted just today and it's really a cool monitor) and is plugged in with a 20W USB-C Plug To Type B
Thank you very much mate! I'll go change it right away
I really took the French word "Adaptateur" And added "or" at the end thinking it was the right word
Edit: I had "Adaptator" and not "Adapter" written
