Want to replace this plug, what shall i order?

I am guessing you don't do youtube much. The video describes a £1 adaptor made in scotland subjected to 2000v. But, you want to blame it on china.

I didn't watch the video, but the description says that it was purchased in Scotland, not that it was made in Scotland. Does the video say that it was made in Scotland- I suspect it doesn't.

I don't buy fake. I only go for 100% genuine no name products. But, if they come with a name, I won't complain. Even with the fake in your video, it only failed in a fake test. Where do you get a 2000v supply in the home?

If safety is a serious issue, people wouldn't be able to sell them. All their ebay accounts are easily obtainable by the police. I don't see why we need to play the role of the police.

The other day you were expressing your concerns about thermal runaway with power tool batteries. Now you are advocating buying (potentially) dodgy chargers?

Does it say it isn't made in scotland?

???

Granted, no it doesn't explicitly say that the item purchased in Scotland was NOT manufactured in Scotland.

If you pop in to your local supermarket to purchase, for exmaple, Iberian Chorizo, do you assume that it was manufactured in store?

BTW, did you realise that CE marks are "self certified"? A company will arrange a contract with, for example, a Chinese manufacturer, the company will send a sample to a testing company to inspect it. That firm will award a CE mark. The Chinese manufacturer could change the components, but unless they tell the buyer, the CE cert will still apply.

"Cha Bu Duo"​

The Chinese Concept of “Cha Bu Duo” Is Not What You Think It Means

When someone does a half-assed job around China, people say “cha bu duo.” Yet the Internet doubles down on the mediocrity with bad fixes.

look at the TV caps bulging while still new enough to be not dusty, and the 13 storey block of flats...

I thought they were "Tofu Dreg Buildings"

In China they make these tiny things, and they also sell recycled ones as well, here in the UK they can be 0.3p each, in china a fraction of that. But they still bother to create and sell old ones as if they are new, how on earth do they make that pay?
I saw a video filmed in the Shenzen area where there were piles of then in the street ready for repackaging.
