You need a safety interlock to ensure that the cable only goes

That's interesting as they don't have such safety devices on caravan
sites.


Yeah, I was wondering about all this nanny interlocking.


Pretty sure the IET regs have a prohibition on unshuttered sockets in a
domestic setting.


They do, although you can get shuttered Schuko style sockets.

Commando with an interlocked isolator would technically be a departure
but at least trivial to justify.


There is a commando where the isolation is included in the socket - such
that you can't energise it until the plug is in.

(quite pricey though)
