Most of mine aren't switched either (pic) The one with switches was bought specially because, years ago, we only had a basic manual electric kettle (no auto switch-off) and my Mother didn't like unplugging the boiling kettle every time, because there was usually a blue spark when the plug was withdrawn.

I really like the Legrand/BICC plugs too! Why are they 'illegal', Graham?

First I've heard of it!
