Overloaded my sockets?

[ban-all-sheds]

Me too - I've seen them before, and I too think they were Crabtree.

I think they were sold as being good for people with restricted vision and/or dexterity.

the manufacturer claimed they were easier to operate and you were less likely to switch the wrong one on or off, seemed sensible to me.

MK use the same sales pitch now and it does makes sense

Here we go - I've just dug out a 2004 Crabtree catalogue and they do twin earthed sockets with inboard or outboard rockers They only other twin socket they do with a single earth terminal and outboard rockers has neon indicators.

That's cleared that up

Legrand also made them as far back as late 80's. And City's own brand RPP (YUK!) also have that format, not to mention Logic Plus.

Yes, you can tell my age. I refer to Logic Plus as "the new logic"......
