Hello all.

Thought this plug might be of interest. I think I bought it around 1991, and our local hardware/electrical shop had them on display as the 'latest thing'.

I think, maybe, that the manufacturers hoped it would become the new Safety Plug.

Has anyone else seen one of these? Or heard of IDC Plugs Ltd? Google hasn't really told me anything!

PS. Forgot to say, the top cover is attached to the rest of the plug with quite a stiff hinge. It can make things a bit awkward having to hold it out of the way when wiring up the plug.
