Do you remember "Nettle" plugtops. I used to like them (perhaps at a time when MK were still making the rather squared shaped ones. The Nettle had a slot so that you could see the colour of the fuse.
Hmmm, I have a Diall branded mousetrap bought from B&Q before Christmas.
When I purchased it, I thought the brand name was just a claim of efficiency of the product.
"Die, All" ...

The variious stylised plugs from most of the 20th c are all but gone now

Rem acu tetigisti. Thanks.
Presumably so they can also flog them in other places that aren't B&Q - like Castorama, Koçta? or Brico Dépôt. Or indeed Screwfix.
Ever been to Poundland? Or shopped at CPC? Or Aldi, Lidl...?

Hell no... Not for stuff like this anyway :-o
Or shopped at CPC?
I buy branded products from Onecall (CPC/Farnell).
Sometimes. I don't mind a cheap wall chaser or SDS for rough work. I expect it to break (as my dirt cheap SDS did 3 or so years later).
But I would not buy electrical stuff from them.
