    I’m all for standardisation but at a global level please. Can we start with plugs?

      If you're German, why give a stuff about the Turkish economy?

      They've not cared about the Greek economy beyond it not *completely* tanking to the extent that it reverts to drachma.

        Which one of those hurts the most when you stand on it with bare feet? I thought the UK one was bad but that one bottom right looks bloody evil!

          The round one with three rectangular pins (chinese I think) looks lethal.

          I Have tried impaling myself on half of the others, the edges on the rectangular ones are the most painful.

            Thats the great thing about Standards, there's so many to chose from.

            The late Douglas Adams had a right thing about mains adaptors.

              Surely it would be better to take the standard one level up and standardise the power supply first. Then we can do away with the plugs?

                Might cause a dip in needful doings whilst they're sorting this stuff out

                  That's US earthed. Normal US just has two bendy thin straight pins.
