Go have a look at a UK plug, whilst paying close attention to the bottom two holes - now stick a fork in the top hole and watch as magic happens before your eyes.
The top hole is a safety device, that when the top prong is inserted, elevates the safety barriers in the bottom 2 holes, to allow the bottom 2 prongs to make a circuit.
So yes, the UK plug is objectively safer than the 2 hole equivalent.
Perhaps on the continent, they're using it as a form of Darwinian selection for children?Last edited by BlasterBates; 14 June 2019, 14:04.
