Should these be legal?

MK have a different shutter than the usually sockets it needs both the earth, L & N pin to be inserted for the shutters to drop. Obviously earth first.

I know that, that's not what I was talking about...

 

[Adam W]

There's a video on YouTube of a guy putting a normal plug (upside down) into the earth terminal enough to open the shutters.

Is that a feature they've recently added to their sockets? We don't use a lot of MK other than the Masterseal stuff.

You mentioned that not everybody has all MK sockets in their house. Some do, but a lot less will have these sockets you're on about.

Ah forget it. So illegal is maybe slightly over the top, I get the general opinion here. I still won't be putting any in my house, good luck to whoever does and their children.

Anyone got any idea how many children die a year from poking thngs in sockets??
I'd willingly bet money on it being none. Ever
Surely a bayonet table lamp with no bulb in is far more dangerous.
Ban fake sockets.....
Why not just make all children live in locked padded rooms till they are 25. Just incase like.

Where i live,it would be a safer bet to put your valuables inside a REAL double socket,at least the only suspects would in theory be competent. RCD removed,dedicated circuit sticker fitted reading "SAFE",or is that confusing?.....

 

[Geordie Spark]

ha I have never seen them before. Good idea that!.

What a completely pointless thread!! What's with all this Ban this, Ban that attitude these day's?? It's funny that all the things that some think should be banned/outlawed, are things that have been around without any real consequence, probably more years than these banners have been walking around on this earth!!

 

[Engineer54]

It sure is......





Big pockets too....

... Then release them on their 25th birthday expecting them to know everything.
The mere suggestion that a child might get hurt is usually enough leverage to get things banned, like the traffic restrictions outside schools - warning signs, 20mph speed limit, traffic calming, pedestrian crossing, barriers, lollypop person... All in case a child 'dashes out' into the road. Well I can't say I've ever seen a child 'dash out' into the road, least of all outside their school where they know they'd get a massive rollocking in front of everybody and get taunted about it by their peers for years to come.
People seem to forget that children don't generally live in schools, they just get dropped off at the gates by their parents at about 9am, get securely locked inside until about 3pm when then get escorted back to the 4x4/people carrier.

Except cigarettes of course hehe

 

[markc123]

Aye, a kiddy winkle can drink as much alc and smoke as many smokes as they please...the government make to much money off them to ban them lol.

What a lovely world we live in, money money money.

Same here!!!...

They can't really ban cigarettes after they've been legal for so many years, but every budget they whack the tax up (supposedly to stop kids starting smoking), they raised the minimum age from 16 to 18 (supposedly to stop kids starting smoking), they increased the size of the warnings and put graphic warnings on cigarette packets (supposedly to stop kids starting smoking), they banned cigarette machines and tobacco display cabinets in supermarkets (supposedly to stop kids starting smoking) then this year it was announced the amount of kids who started smoking actually increased.
... So what was all that inconvenience and extra expense for then?

 

[electrosparks]

Do they come in special finishes

 

[tazz]

I believe you can paint them to match you decor

If you want a chrome effect, you can stick kitchen foil over them.
