The British 3 pin plug is superior to all other plugs. I miss it

[โ€“] zik 4 points 3 months ago

It's certainly the one most likely to shank you if you step on it. Beyond that I'd rank it as the least space efficient plug. I honestly think it's the worst design I've seen.

"But it has built in fuses", I hear all the Brits say. This isn't the advantage you think it is. Why not put the fuses in the actual appliance with all the other components where it makes more sense to put them?
