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?


CPC also sell a range of multiways where a rotated plug fully inserted
only into the earth pin opens the L&N shutters

iirc they carry an approval number

It's a glaring loophole *if* the standard permits this.


TBH you can count the number of people killed by this by counting the
fingers on a lepers hand.


You seem to be absolutely correct. Methinks the OP is getting his
knickers in a twist over nothing.
