You can fit a plug up side down to open the shutters so its easy for
kids to poke stuff inside the live.

I though it was illegal but maybe the law has changed?


Sadly most multiway extension leads are like this and have been so for a
number of years. Apparently there's a loophole in the standards that
permits it and penny pinching manufacturers have taken the opportunity
to shave a few pence of their costs.
