I'd like to take this oppurtunity to point out that UK plugs are, by a long shot, the best plugs.

They have ground. They slot in and stay in. The structure of the plug means that the wire comes out the bottom and not the back, which is better for plugging stuff in behind furniture.

Basically every other plug-type is ass compared to UK plugs.

They have one fatal flaw, though: when lying on the ground, the prongs almost always face up, making it easier for you to stab yourself should you accidentally step on the plug.

That's when another neat feature comes in, every UK outlet have a switch so you don't have to unplug them and leave them a hazard on the floor.
