Default Re: 13 amp plug question

Yes I'm surprised too that the answer is elusive.

It was by no means universal - I recall in the 1960's rubber plugs existed with covers which you had to thread onto the cable before connecting the wires to the pins. Such plugs had no little slot hole alongside the earth pin.
