Why didn't you just use a new plug while you were at it instead of re-using that old dinosaur?
What's that white stuff I see around the pins. Corrosion?
'Cuz that would have required to get up and dig around in boxes to find a better one... I don't really have a stock of new plugs and the salvaged ones are spread all over the place. So... why bother.
The pins are a little worn (to put it mildly) but near the tip where they go into the receptacle they still look ok. The plug was definitely borderline to getting trashed though.
Yes, Paul is perfectly right. Two round pins and a rectangular ground pin on top (rather flat, not bulky like the BS1363 pins). The entire connector (male+female) is _really_ long, so you'd consider unplugging it before putting the kettle away... it's awkward to fit in my locker.
