    Hauling three pin adaptors around has been a pain for years.

    This is brilliant. Where do I buy them? 😀

    This might be of interest to those involved in clothing.

    I don’t think I’ll tell Jenny that she’s been doing it wrong for years though. Unless by telephone, from a very long way away. :peek:

    I can see the competitors point about the swivel being a weakness.

    So can I. But are their swivelling pins any more robust?

    One swivelling item must be better than three.

    😮 😮 WOW you British sure use monster plugs. Anybody know why they are so large or is that just the way it has always been?

    Can see the uses of both plugs given the Slim Plug being able to take higher current devices and the other for lower current consumers. Both cracking yet simple ideas………..

    Mike the english plugs have a fuse, wheras ours aren’t, thus the reason for the size.

    Nigel, our houses are wired so that the main fuse will trip in a fraction of a heartbeat if the voltage is tripped, thats why we don’t need a fuse in our cables, and thats why they are so much smaller.

    You may have the safest plugs, but we have the safest house if that is the criteria :lol1: 😉
