What about those stupid "Child safety" covers for sockets? They're a
right royal pain in the arse and as far as I can see don't actually
acheive anything. If there were really a problem then the BS would have
been changed to something safer.


Probably of value if you have old 1960's unshuttered sockets.


Wonder how many of them there are left. We've a brand new building up
the road - and it's full of these stupid little covers.


None - 13A sockets have been shuttered since their inception.
Round pin sockets were shuttered later (and still don't have
to be, except in homes), but I don't think that's what's being
referred to here.
