Interesting -- I'll go back to the RSA Crabtree site for a better look when I get the time. I notice that they've increased the rating of the outlets to 16A now, not that these old plugs and sockets would have any problem handling that. I've always felt that our old connectors were very conservatively rated -- The good quality 15A types would probably carry 30A without any trouble!
I've come across one British outlet with a switch fitted horizontally above the socket, but that was the smaller 5A style (I can't remember what make it was).
One question that comes to mind about the RSA double outlets oriented sideways: Are the plugs all still the right-angle type like British ones?
