You know that the wire comes from the base part of the Nautraul and Live is there a plug that the wire comes from around the Earth area. Its just we have loads of sockets by the floor.
We have a similar problem in our house with most sockets positioned at low level on the skirting board. There is no type of 3-pin plug with the cable coming out of the top, but if you are having trouble, fit a plug-in adaptor to the socket, the type to have a further socket in the side or top.
