I wonder if, like me, Paul and Rambo were unfortunate enough to read "Calling Base 10" by Douglas Castle, (1943) in the Blackie's books for boys and girls series at junior school, in which the juvenile hero does indeed employ the coin in the light fitting trick to evade his Nazi captors?

Also, thanks to Winston for the info on the Malaysian plug key and link to that comprehensive document - very informative. At least the Plasplugs tester version has the text "remove after testing" and identifies L and N correctly!

Cheers
Chris
