Does anybody know if there is anything that will convert a single USB port into a double USB port and if so what are they called. TIA.

They're sold in most larger supermarkets (e.g Tesco and Asda). You can also offer find them in discount stores, such as Poundland.

You need to remember that a USB port provides power (at 5V DC) to whatever is plugged into it. Most USB devices will work via a standard hub but a few might not (because there's insufficient power available via the hub). If you experience problems with a standard ('passive') USB hub, you can buy a hub which comes with its own power supply:

(For other types, search for 'powered USB hub')

often!
(and I've not even touched a drop - yet!)

I'd always go for the powered version.

Be aware USB comes in different versions. A 2.0 hub would probably be sufficient, but if you are plugging it into a 3.0 socket you may wish to consider a 3.0 version hub.
