just the plug? or some cable? I'm trying to remember what they look like (I'm in the US). Aren't they 3 circular pins? Been a good 20 years since I graced your shores...;)

Been a good 20 years since I graced your shores...;)Plugs here haven't used round pins for a very long time, and while change over period was also quite long, they were pretty much out of use by the late 70s.
The only round pin plugs that show up only occasionally are the 2 pin "Europlugs" with imported items that were made for other European markets rather than for the UK.
Some old (unmodernised) houses may still have the odd round pin socket or two, but nobody but a fool would trust wiring that old (if they're still connected).

something like this, doesn't even need to be in high detail or anything. I thought it would be pure simple to find but nope lol

I did this some time ago in C4D - if you are okay with just the exported .obj file and textures (such as they are!) you're welcome to it. You'll have to texture the pins yourself though, I didn't bother as in the end I didn't need to see them in the render I did.

I'll upload it to freestuff here, might be a bit later because I'm going out shortly. There's already a hole for a cable, I'll see if I can model in some fixing screws and I'll also correct the rotation of the live/neutral pins.

WOW man thanks! I really appreciate it

Okay, I've uploaded this to the freestuff area but it needs to be approved first. Bare-bones model with a white texture and a bump map to show the BS kitemark. You'll need to get it working in Poser - I haven't tried it there but it should work. Might need scaling, for example.
