Cloth Eared!

Not to start a debate, but that is just BS IMHO!

Just cloth eared I guess! Any particular part BS or the whole thing?

Earth up, 50Hz...

Earth up in the southern hemisphere and earth down in the nothern hemisphere so they all point to the same ground.

I prefer earth up, 50Hz

It seems easier to put the plug in blind to me when oriented this way.

earth down, 50Hz

the bigger factor for me is using a switched and fused IEC socket, having the switch above the power cord makes it far more accessible.

failing that, having the earth closer to the floor makes somewhat more logical sense 😉
