    Round conduit box lids.

    Evening, is there a place to get good quality 20mm round plastic conduit lids? I’ve installed a load this weekend from Screwfix and they don’t seal correctly as the plastic is too thin. I’ve ended up using two lids on each box! Thanks.

    Why does 13A plug and socket system have flat pins when most others are round?

    (A sad admission: as a lad I collected plugs by make and colour and displayed them on a shelf in my bedroom - I liked for example the style of the 'Rock' make. I had therapy and am now recovered but some interest remains. Who remembers makes such as Rock, WG, Nettle, Wylex, Empire...
