13A plug, switched

[Grumps]

Hi all I'm trying to find one of these. I have located a 3:1 adaptor

but not a single plug. Any ideas?

[Mike Harrison]

Not seen one for many years - might an RCD plug be an alternative?

Was Googling 13A switched plug a little too dificult. 2nd entry (well, above 2nd really, 2nd Froogle entry).

Suppose I might as well give you the link as well as I've got it.

Any ideas?

Replace the socket with a switched one - probably cost about the same.

I got some in B&Q in Ireland a few months ago

Well of course I googled, didn't froogle though. I must be going blind. That's what working at home does for ya. Ta for the link.

[Grumps]

Indeed. I'm not sure of the age of the exisiting wiring though. And I'm not going to pull a socket off and have the insulation crumble in my hand.

[Grumps]

Ah, an excellent excuse to visit my home country.

[John Rumm]

Well if it is that bad, you need something done about it *now*!

[John Rumm]

Seems a shame to spoil it by going to B&Q though ;-)

[Grumps]

I don't know what it's like, but I know it's quite old. It's not my house, but I guess the owners should get it checked over.

Google Froogles for you when Google. Anyway, I`, not one to hold a grudge.
