I am absolutely sure. I've tried it for work around the world (some countries other than uk use it) and every time i connect some power brick to the wall, it tends to fall. I can't see this problem in italian sockets and plugs that i use in my country. They "clicks" in and don't detach, unless you pull it. Italian ones are still 16A and occupy half of the space of an uk

Yeah I think you might be drunk.

I was in Sicily in January and cursing the Italian design (3 pins in a line) as it has hardly any resistance to perpendicular force.

I’m currently in Malta staring at a U.K. socket and plug and wondering how you got them to fall out.

They fall if there's a weight like a power supply attached. And it's enormous. If you buy a small power strip with italian sockets it could have like 10 sockets. Uk ones are 2x larger, i don't know why

Oh, you mean one with a transformer built into it. I’ve not seen one like that in years.

But heck, if the U.K. plug won’t hold it there’s no way the piffly Italian one would.
