On a related point,
The Chinese wall-wart manufacturers do seem to seem to have this idea
that our 13A sockets are mounted with the earth-pin downwards, because
the regulatory labeling is often upside-down.


So are Chinese 13A sockets mounted on the wall earth pin down?


I doubt they have 13A sockets, but a Google Image search suggests that
3 pin outlets in foreign parts are often earth pin down, and the US in
particular seems to have no fixed convention, and can be up, down or
sideways.
