"Big Clive" featured a Chinese string of festive lights recently

pin).
Problem was, the lights still worked with the fuse removed.


The worst chinese 13A plug that I've come across was one where the ends
of the pins were not chamfered. Without the chamfer it's almost
impossible to get the earth pin to lift the shutter in the socket and to
get the electrical contacts apart easily. It was a plug more likely to
physically damage what it was plugged into.
