For completeness' sake, the Wylex plugs were round, usually brown top and white underneath; the earth pin was tubular and central, the live & neutral rectangular, spaced either side of centre, and one of them (?) offset to avoid being reversed.
The plugs I referred to obviously weren't Wylex then. The ones I remember were generally black, although white ones later became available. The pins were in triangular formation and for some reason the terminal screw of the earth pin protruded through the case.
