    Solid raw plugs

    Hello guys, I'm fed up with trying to clip to the wall and the nails just bending or the bricks blowing e.t.c. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy solid raw plugs that I could hammer a nail into, like a plastic dowel, but cut into pieces say the size of a raw plug. Cheers Guys Tom

    GRR, rewirable plugs...

    How come those stupid re-wirable plugs are SO hard to rewire? The wires are never the right length, and one always never fits or the strangs come untwisted... What tricks do you have for using re-wirable plugs, or making them easier to rewire?

    Plugs

    Can anyone explain why some people refer to a British 13 amp plug as a 'plug-top'? Where does the 'top' bit come in? I call them a 13 amp plug, or if being unambiguous or pedantic a BS1363 plug.
