Hi,
I vaugely recall seeing a BS1363 design with the outlet in a diagonal style, like the one that Zelandeth owns.
The 13 amp plus 2 amp type that Jay has shown us were once fitted to houses on one of the large council housing estates in the Stockton - on - Tees area.

More recently I have seen a number of single gang BS1363 sockets, once again mainly in local housing authority properties, which have the switch physically placed on the Neutral pin side of the socket, as opposed to the Live side as in the case of most sockets.

Regards
Andrew
