Hi, I would like a 4m cable for a Mac, does anywhere sell one? Our kitchen table is a fair distance from the nearest plug and I can just reach with the current 3m cable although a longer one would be better.

I’ve had a look and can’t find one. I bought a female to female connector but it won’t charge my MacBook.

Thank you

Screwfix (or elsewhere) will sell you an extension cord for about £7

Leave one plugged into the wall nearest the table and connect your original one to the extension.

Only need to carry the original items in the laptop bag then.

What sort of Mac? You can get a variety +4m long USB-C cables from Amazon which will power and charge USB-C MacBooks (even the newer Magsafe ones).

You can plug any standard 2-pin figure eight mains lead into the Apple charger, just get a 3m one of those.
