Sounds like it could be just a bad plug.  You might consider buying an
extension lead, then taping up, very strongly and securely, the connection
between your current 'end' plug and the new one.  Then, try and keep that
taped connection out of the way and as immobile as possible.
Alternatively of course, replace the plug, but it's not the easiest of jobs.
