Plug sockets for laptop only

[dosxuk]

and that adds up to even more of a reason not to call Bs1363 sockets ' 13 amp sockets' as regardless of the supply avilable it;s the only 'standard' UK socket to most people.

They're called 13A sockets because that is the maximum current they can supply.

Having a power socket rated for a higher current than can be delivered is normal. You should never assume that any socket can deliver the full rated supply. It's no different really to how most household mains cables will be rated to carry 450V.

I've never liked "plug socket" either... I call them "mains sockets" myself, but that aside, surely "socket" would suffice?

As the sticker is on the socket, there is no need to mention it at all as there is nothing else the sticker could be referring to!
