Reading post 107 had to make me smile , Many years ago while I was a schoolboy electrician, I used to help run the stage lighting and we used 5 and 15 amp duraplugs and they were universally called " 5 amp Durex " or "15 amp Durex " and even now I have been know to ask for a 13 amp durex plug.
It has taken me over 40 years to find there was a connection
