Very interesting Ian, I'd never really thought about them in so much detail! I have hundreds and hundreds of plugs I need to process, definitely a 'round tuit' job!!

You can weigh them in, there is a category for household plugs £150 a ton, if time or space is short.

My uncle's house was a pre-war time capsule. It only had a couple of old wall sockets; if you wanted to use the vacuum you had to plug it into the light fitting. His fridge was powered by gas rather than electricity.

That Nettle socket did originally have safety shutters but it's either broken or got stuck. Shutters have always been a requirement for BS1363.

Awesome video. I have only heard of all the European Plug Designs. Very cool plugs and history. I know the standard US 2 Prong Plug hasn't changed since it's invention. The 3 prong hasn't changed in my lifetime. There are variations but only in an Industrial Setting. PS. Nice copper on the bench.

Another interesting comparison is that US wire code calls for outlets to be situated with the ground plug facing up, so if you dropped something metal on a slightly unplugged plug, it would be safe. I have never once in my life seen the socket installed correctly. I suspect it is the innate desire to anthropomorphize the outlet, it looks like a happy face when it's upside down/the standard

Round pin plugs Ian showing his age . Don't stick thing's in plug holes unless you want waken up deed. True older stuff was better quality plugs have evolved some are cheap crap. You can use 2 pin plug in adapter. So basically they thought about safety all the way. Double fused for safety. So basically they changed design for more safety. Or the Saftys lol. (Name for this video Ian Matthews explains Safety )
