Where can I find a left-handed single 13 amp socket?

[dennis]

How about an ambidextrous one?

I don't think I would buy one though.

[Tim+]

Surely you just wire live to neutral and neutral to live? ;-)

[Max Demian]

Cut a double one in half and take the one you want.

[bert]

Might do the job.

[ARW]

That would be the LHS if you had a outboard switched socket.

[The Natural Philosopher]

In a mirror.

[Brian Gaff]

Well funny you should say this, but many double switched sockets have one right and one left hand socket on them. this is ideal for both left and right handed people. :-) Brian

[Brian Gaff]

There have been many novelty sockets over the years,like ones that glow orange when switched on etc. Never did understand the reason. Brian

"What does up-to-down in Britain, down-to-up in America, and side-to-side in Japan?"

(I don't think they use our style of power sockets in Japan though. I don't know what they use. I think they do in Iraq - maybe other places.)

[ARW]

How the hell did you find them?

[Harry Bloomfield]

It happens that Max Demian formulated :

I was in Aldi today and they had some switched 13amp socket on their price reduced 'remainders' racks. They had the socket holes as normal the switch above, but horizontal and slightly right of the centre line.

[bert]

Bonus point for bringing angle grinder into the discussion.

[bert]

He asked your apprentice.

[bert]

Excellent. Just the job.

I'm sure some of Adam's apprentices do exactly that.

Including watching videos of young ladies demonstrating said unusual appliances!

The Grand designs program, where a Huff Haus was built somewhere in Surrey showed that all the 3 pin sockets were like this.
