looks like a rocker switch and a plug with a bit of a different pattern to the prongs , we have this type of crap here too mum, sorry to make you look not so exotic but thats the way it is . allan

the exotic aspect of the switch is the fact that is is apparently mounted sideways. american electrical boxes have their mounting screws top and bottom rather than side to side
