Default Re: Any other plug collectors out there?

As a sidenote to this thread, today's plug-experience came about as part of some kitchen remodelling.

For the last 15 years or so, hidden in the spider-and-woodlouse-retirement-home which is the void behind the kitchen-units I've had a MK "ToughPlug" at the head of a 2-way extension lead that feeds the washing-machine and the little fridge. Remodelling meant this extension lead was rather too long so I decided to shorten it - however when I took the old cable out both the Nylon springy cord-grips shattered.

The offending ToughPlug got unceremoniously hurled into the bin. Fortunately I have a shedload of 2.5mm cables with moulded-on 13A plugs, courtesy of that nice Mr. Dell, who always insisted on sending a bunch of 13A kettle-leads when I ordered datacentre-switches despite me specifying 16A IEC-to-IEC leads. A few minutes with some side-cutters and a screwdriver and kitchen-harmony was restored.
