Quick history question - MK fitting design.

Cos we'd all be lusting after all your wall-mounted curvaceous lovelies, when you want them all to yourself?

Don't be so selfish! :wink:
 
On a different note, I take it MK plugs STILL have those wrap round terminals?

They are actually specified in hospitals and surgeries etc, to this day. I assume they reckon they're more reliable in terms of connection. They still offer the red "Hospital Property" one too.

I recall doing a huge house around 98/99, and the PLUS range had been around for about a year by then, and they altered the light switch design on the 1 and 2 gang switches. This made it difficult for us as the part number remained the same, but slightly different switches would appear.
 
You could buy those MK safetyplugs in Woolworths stores throughout the 1980's as an alternative to Woolies Worthit! (or rather their Winfield equivalent) own brand plugs!
 
GPO had MK plugs with "GPO" on & later "BT". Also, Granada rental equipment had MK plugs on with a big "G" on.

EDIT: just tried to look for a picture of an MK plug with GPO on it by using Google Images searching for GPO plug.....don't do it..... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
 
Just for you Simon:

Back to more wholesome things, I think there was an MK plug with Hotpoint on it.
