Surely you mean PATesting
Ah well. At least the live will pull out before the earth (not).

Yes it will - the earth will never pull out, since it's not 'in' - so the L is boiund to 'pull out' first
Kind Regards, John.
'Twas my attempt at humour.
I must remember to make it more obvious with a 21st century LOL.

....and you think my response wasn't also?
I even included a smiley!Kind Regards, John
What's wrong with that? It still works doesn't it?
You're all very slow. What's wrong with it is that it's just a plug bottom; the plug top is missing, leaving all those dangerous wires exposed
Kind Regards, John.

Thank heaven for sealed plugs I say. If that's on the end of a lamp the fuse is just a little overrated. One of the twenty perhaps?

Well done. Some one who takes off the plug top to check. So many just look at fuse colour in window and don't open it unless the flex has pulled out of grips.
It is so boring not so bad when it's a couple of hours a week but those guy who do nothing else but testing it must be so boring.
Also so easy to get it wrong too. In Uni we were asked if there were any health and safety issues which what we had done and I thought they were looking at something. A quick look and I realised the Allen Bradley PLC was designed to be fitted in a cabinet and for stand alone use the cooling slots were too big and did not comply. So it went on my report as such. Seems the testing guys had missed this and had passed them all. Ups!!!

Just like fixed installation inspection and testing, with PATesting you are more likely to find something wrong visually than by testing.
When I think about it, this was the same place I took some pictures from last time:
