I've seen this mentioned before and advised clients that I have seen using them of the dangers by showing them what is possible. Great to see Fatally Flawed as a member and I have now posted the details via a link on my facebook account.

Kind Regards

Depending on the style of socket some international sockets do need covers. The campaign is aimed at the UK BS1363 sockets.

This was on Daybreak this morning and did mention socket covers but didn't explain the inherent dangers of them...
They basically bashed on about RCD protection AND if you haven't RCD protection get upgraded.
I fear this may lead to all the rouge traders crawling out of the woodwork and putting the fear of god into parents and the like, updating the board and doing one.
Parents warned about dangers of electrical sockets - ITV News
Shame as it could of been a good opportunity for FF and the shameful attempt of trying to flog a £10 plug in RCD unit was just wrong, quite misleading to some as they might assume it does the same job as the RCD on the board..
There are 2 video's but the day break one is the one to watch...

Its definitely worth getting as many articles written and out there as possible every extra site that is talking about it it potentially a huge number aware of the dangers

Mate, if you want to spam can you at least do it on something a little less important than this. Or did you not bother to readwhat the point of this is

Did a domestic test the other day, lady had 8 faulty double sockets (very high readings) and had already replaced 1 due to burning, on house only rewired in 2001, you can guess what the culprits were! Worse still she worked in a nursery she said if the inspectors (Ia ssume offstead) come in they expect to see them in every socket.

Forgot to add they were crabtree sockets, not craplex
