Piffle (in the domestic situation). You're seriously suggesting that the
Regs somehow forbid having a washing machine, built-in microwave,
wall-mounted convector heater, yada yada, sitting in a room,
disconnected from the mains by virtue of being unplugged!? That they're
supposed to have the Magic Green-n-Yellow Wire continuously attached
from the moment they cross the threshold? Ye cannae be serious, jimmee...


Well regs say so sockets are for portable appliances if said appliance is
fixed then it should be wired via a switched isolator one exceptionn given
is a clock.

I bet all of those built in kitchen appliances are supplied with moulded
on plugs!!
