Hi,
I found this item t'other day. It's an adapter to allow a European two pin plug to be used in a South African 16amp socket (the former BS546 15amp UK socket). It's nearly new and I was surprised to see that it was made by Crabtree, and that it also carried a South African approval mark. I didn't realise that Crabtree still made plugs, haven't seen one for years!
Cheers, Pete
