Visited my son in the Netherlands last month, and took these pics of his friend's flat (a renovation project). The screw-in white ceramic knobs contain a fused link in the centre (still available in Dutch hardware stores) and were apparently very common in the 70s and 80s.
CPC is the usual thin wire (<4mm) that seems to be common practice over there. Their earthing rods are a different matter altogether, 2m of really thick angle iron with a pointed end that you certainly wouldn't want to drop on your foot. . .
