My only real plug-issues were the days of going to site and finding the place was wired with "Walsall Gauge" 13A sockets, or a 1950s-vintage public-sector site with Dorman&Smith or Wylex outlets. I had a set of adaptor-cables with an appropriate plug one end and a standard 13A "Duraplug" rubber-cased socket the other. I also had one such lead with a metal-clad "Niphan/Clang" 15-amp plug for theatres and British Rail sites who seemed to have a persistent attachment to such outlets.
