I very much prefer the new understated white switches to the red ones of the previous CCU - although they're still the same size.
Until 2007 my parents house had a larger version of the right hand cooker switch. I've seen a version with neon indicators for the switches.

The socket was rarely used, possibly only when my Mum needed to use a hand mixer for something being heated in a pan.
