Default Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions

I think that in the old days, ie pre-war, a lot was down to the preference of whoever did the installation.

My house only had 15A 3-pin sockets, and not many of them, whereas further up the road they had a mixture of 5A and 15A in both 2 and 3-pin versions.

Also around here, and I've heard of them in other places 'Up North,' were some with a round central Earth pin with flat live and neutral at either side.
