International plugs and sockets

As we leave the EU, with all its standardization, I am bound to wonder why plugs and sockets have not been subject to this process. It isn't even that we have our funny square pins and the rest have round ones. Type C (2 pin) is common, but earthed plugs are mostly type E or F. IEC site.


Oh well, too late now!

  • Melting plus doesn't seem to be the preserve of BS 1363 though - it seems to be an international problem (even with their unfused plugs) - try googling images for "prise fondu" or "geschmolzener Stecker"
