Does anyone remember this one, late 70s I think. All of a sudden there was all this talk of scrapping the 13amp socket and ring main and refurbing the whole country with a 16amp socket.

Reason , it restricted manufacturers to with power ratings of appliances.

I was told it was a manufacurers ploy to drum up sales for 30 trillion 16 amp sockets and was shelved.
