Default Re: Why did folk always unplug the telly at night?

Julie, MK, Hager and Legrand sockets all use different patented three-pin operated mechanisms, the result is similar, but the way it is achieved is different in each case. I am not aware of any manufacturer who makes a licensed version of any of those three designs. I do not have great familiarity with those who specify what accessories are used in new-builds, but the two architects I do know make a practice of specifying three-pin operation. Why skimp a few pence per socket when a greatly superior solution is available?
That's indeed very laudable.
I am concerned about the sockets of poor build quality that have one or more 5V USB outlets on the faceplate. The sockets in this house are over 40 years old and as good as new. It's unthinkable that USB "A" plugs will not be depreciated in 2057
