The rugby club lets out rooms to Creches and gues what - they have fitted the "safety plugs" I was not aware until today how dangerous this is ( even though I understand the principle of the original safety shutter design ) They will be removed tomorrow.

Great site!

Many thanks

See what ive just found on the ESC website [h=2]Socket Blanking Plugs[/h]We don’t promote the use of socket blanking plugs as we don’t consider normal household sockets a serious risk to children.
These sockets have built in safety shutters to prevent access to the live parts inside. However, we understand that using these plugs may give parents and carers additional peace of mind. It’s your choice.

One of my activities over the weekend has been trawling for forums for other trades and professions Logging in to them and giving them the info about the campaign. Most have been very receptive and supportive, the nurses, doctors, solicitors, fire service and accountants have all pledged signatures. Tonight I found ukpoliceonline so away I went again, I apologise for invading their forum then proceed to tell them in an orderly manner. I left the window open and was looking now and again to see if there was any feedback, after 84 views the thread was deleted without any warning or explanation. Thanks policeman moderator...not
 
It seems this thread is gathering a lot of vital information for FF, which is a success in it's own. It may or may not be on FF's agenda but somebody with the time should put it together as a white paper as a colation of opinions and findings of the UK's electrical experts - and beyond.
