Built to last in them days, one thing is for sure no one will be doing the same thing with the current MK tat in 20 years time. I have a 40 odd year old MK pull switch in my bathroom the only accessory I haven't changed, just the metal olive on it pleases me.

It's crazy what people will buy. I suppose if your the National Trust, and you want to refurbish some 70's property, then this is the sort of stuff you need.

I remember doing a couple of car boots sales when the kids were young. It was crazy, you got surrounded by buyers when you opened the boot of the car, and I was just getting rid of rubbish really, made a mint. The council had provided a couple of skips on the site, and the kids pulled out a few things and sold the crap on from our table top.

Colleague of mine collects random plugs, he has all sorts. MK especially must have made a lot of oddities, he has a couple of double pole fused ones which spring to mind.
