I phoned a friend tonight, and as usual we had a good laugh at one point. This time it was plugs. I've never actually stopped to think why I have a collection of 9 used sockets, or when I think I might ever get to re- use them. Unlike pretty much everything else in the house which is cluttered and disorganised, these are tidied away in a clearly labelled container and I can lay my hands on them instantly. They are a remnant of my much more organised ex husband's way of doing things. Sadly whenever I need a fuse (the other supposed occupant of this tub) there are never any in here. Just a plentiful supply of plastic plugs :)My friend pointed out that maybe once some current EU laws are done away with in Brexit, maybe appliances will once more be sold without wired plugs and my collection will come into its own. Or maybe I should just sling them and put something else neatly stored away so I know where to find them...
Meanwhile, at least I now know _why_ I have this collection - it's served its purpose in the good chuckle it afforded to me and my friend tonight :D
