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

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

    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.

    Actually I've never lost it, refuse to upgrade to a phone without a headphone jack.

    Lower EUR rate is great for exporters like Germany.
