Oh, I know what they are, and they are widely used in lighting, but I wasn't sure why they were in a cafe.

I suppose if all the room lighting is run from one switch then they all be on 5A plugs.

Also stops someone overloading the lighting circuit with a hoover

I'd assume a switched lighting circuit. Or possibly, given the proximity to the RJ45s, a hoovering-proof supply for computer equipment of some kind.

No idea what that weird one at the top is, though.

They look just like what my are in my dad's house, which was built about 4 years ago (he does have standard square pin sockets too!) But unlike the ones in India which also look identical, European two-pin plugs won't fit in them.

Never knew you were a Lancastrian.

I'm not.

I don't think any member of this forum would ever use Comic Sans MS, were they to run tea rooms.

I think I would.

What better way to get cyclists to stop and come in your cafe, if only to point out your typographical crime?

Once there, they are trapped by cake and tea.
