Approx 10 years ago I purchased a 13A plug which had a large neon
indicator
in the back cover (cannot remember the maker), it was quite useful to know
if something had been inadvertently left on, or if a fuse had blown on
something you needed to be on.
Having done a search I can no longer find one, except for a switched plug
with a tiny neon which is so small it does not readily impact on the eye.

Anybody know of a supplier of a plug with neon?
The ones I am looking for had a neon indicator approx 20 x 20mm square, (as
far as I remember them)

We have two, bought in 1994, and I had trouble finding them then. The
neon is about 15mm by about 10mm. They cost an arm and a leg (about a
fiver each, then).

Can't find them now, but the switched ones from CPC are pretty nright
even though the neon is a lot smaller.

If you can make 10 in an hour it may be worth diying. Drill hole of
size wanted, lie top on polythene, fill hole mostly full with clear
epoxy, insert neon and add white paper back. Let it set and Roberta's
your auntie.
