Yes I would agree with you on that one Tel, a complete one really

all for the sake of a £2.50 adaptor. might just as well stuff the wires in with matchsticks, saves fitting plugs on his appliances .

Wasn't there a post ongoing about the self same socket safety cover this Muppet was using? I seem to remember one a while ago.

ha ha, just reminded me.was in GP surgery yesterday. socket covers on the socket outlets. i pointed it out to the doc. and he said, yes, we've had a directive from nhs to remove them. so he then pulled them all out and binned them . RESULT.

Was at the Dentist a few months back, sat in the Dentist chair waiting for the Novocaine to work, and noticed the Dentist had a bit of equipment plugged in and some wires on the end of something else rammed in with the plug pins, trouble was I couldn't say anything as my mouth was full of Dental gubbins, told her afterwards, quite shocked she was. Just goes to show some professionals are thick when it comes to things Electrical.

I like how his system ensures no earth continuity, no fuse either. I had to replace several sockets in a rented property recently, where the foreign tenants had broken them by forcing those silly 2 pin 2.5A euro plugs in and out. The metal caps are fitted over the plastic pins and the pin spacing is tight so when you pull them out they catch the plastic between the L+N holes and break it. I think the previous version of MK shutters have dimples in the position of those round pin plugs so they can't twist them out of the way like the square pin plugs do. I've just seen my cooker socket has that feature, the dimples are angled so that round pin plugs will push the shutters towards the closed position.

What he fails to say is that the adaptor has a fuse in the base so that the continental plug is fused when using UK sockets.Using his method he has no fuse in the euro plug and so is potentially dangerous.

I like to see him try that with a mk socket

In that first photo the telephone point is upside down.

I wonder if he's dead yet - I would probably chuckle at the news (after praying for his soul of course)
A t1t indeed.

The older square edge MK stuff you can just push a euro plug in, no tools required!
