Do these sockets have to be installed with the earth at the top, it's something I've only just thought about, i.e is it OK to install a soocket the other way up the earth pin then being at the bottom.
The only thing I can think or is that crap could fall into a plugged in plug where the cables come out. of teh 'top'
then there's the Q is it OK to install them at 90 and 270 rotations.

Well some people will no doubt kick up a fuss.

A moulded plug (a heavy duty type not one a flimsy charger one for a
mobile phone MAY have undue strain on the flex if the socket was on it's
side).

However most of my flimsy phone chargers have their cable coming out of
the top of the moulded plug and in IMHO they would last longer if the
socket was installed upside down.
