What in the bloody hell..

Evening all.

Anyone know what the above item is? Customer wants standard double sockets changing to these.

Never seen that before, looks like some sort of shaver socket extension lead contraption!

 

[Rocboni]

Looks like a retractable extention lead for 2 pin Euro plugs?

That’s what I was thinking. Mind blown ATM

Have they said why they want this and what they would use it for, at first glance this could be a nightmare think of the box depth you'd have to install for a start!

I'd guess the customer is not from this Country?

Well I’ve not actually met the customer from the name and her location (down the road from me) I doubt she’s foreign. Why would she need that here though, confusion

No idea what it is, but you may be able to do a reverse image search on Google, which will show webpages that have it or similar on perhaps. I just tried it on my phone but it won't let me. It's dead easy to do on a PC though.

Built in retractable wander lead to make future EICR easier??

Don’t worry guys, turns out she can’t speak a word of English and actually wants the above photo, turning into the below photo. Wish me luck with this person tomorrow jesus

That's good as after 2 minutes on google turns out it isn't even on the market that would have been interesting

Yes I have problems explaining to the Chinese students when doing EICR, that the power is going off, trouble is when someone doesn't speak good English, we tend to assume they're are deaf! So then say louder POWER....IS...GOING...OFF!!

Hmm that makes even less sense as to what it is, unless it's a self inserting socket for lazy people and the green cable is attached to a winch which works off your iPhone

 

[Darkwood]

It's a pull cord to start up the power in the adjacent outlet.

You think that's difficult. Called in to a problem with the kitchen extract system at Michael Wan's restaurant in Blackpool on opening day.....total panic, Chinese running around, yelling all over the place. Really had the fat fwying.

when dealing with foreign customers with a basic grasp if any of English I bring out the alien technology that Google must have acquired from area 51 and the aliens. Its known as Google translate or as Dr Who would know it as the universal translator.... you can type or say what you want in English and as if by magic it can come out in a language of your choice.... they can even talk or type back on your phone and it will translate back to English. Problem solved.
