Your sarcasm fails because actually I do know everything necessary to
check the safety of a mains extension lead. As do many people.

Unfortunately for technical pseudo-elitists it really isn't rocket science.

You're welcome to your opinion, but this time it's just wrong. Under different circumstances I'd test you by showing you a bunch of difficult appliances to test.

You're moving the goalposts. See my words above: "I do know everything
necessary to check the safety of a mains extension lead." I didn't
mention other devices.

Let's get some examples I've encountered that would catch many pat
testers out:
1952 Hoover floor polisher
1937 McMichael radio
Modern 6 way extension lead
1951 Hoover junior vacuum cleaner
Modern LED lights
Assorted wallwarts
1934 2 valve reaction set, home made
Fan heater, 1960s or 70s
Fan heater, 2017
