The ZX Spectrum manual reminds me of the time in the UK when you had to purchase a plug in addition to your electrical appliance. It was also the consumer’s responsibility to ensure the plug has the right fuse. (The plug you just bought probably had a 13 amp fuse fitted.)

The Toshiba HX-10 MSX came with 2 plugs and a screwdriver. This was considered important enough to include a picture on the box, never mind the manual.
