Customers are funny. I had a customer that didn't want neons on spurs but to me something that should be switched off like say a dishwasher should have a neon, but thats just my thoughts. I would look at the cheapest stuff if you don't want red or letters.

Batty - why should a dishwasher be switched off? I never turn the socket off?

some people are just mad about turning off everything - including plug in timers for lights (then complain that the time is always wrong)

You speak to firemen they are the ones who have to clean the mess up when things catch on fire.

These are the closest to 'plain' as i have seen; http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Electrical/Flat+Plate+Polished+Chrome+Wiring+Accessories/d190/sd2760

Scroll down to the double socket. They're not plain but they're not as obvious as the red writing.

EDIT: If they have to be plastic them I'm all out of ideas!

Always supervise your dog when it's in the washing machine..........

but switching it off probably wouldnt prevent the fire. if a part was going to fail and burn, then it was going to fail and burn. although if it has been kept switched off, it would probably have taken longer for part to fail, and may have happened when someone was in

We had one once that caught fire at the bottom of the door while it was not operating (the button on the machine was turned off!!!!). Luckily the missus saw it, pulled the plug and chucked some water on it..

I had a look later and found that the wiring loom was damaged where it flexes everytime you open and shut the door - several cables had damaged insulation!!

So the answer is...

Do not leave them on when you are in bed or out of the house!!
