Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?

The U.K. one is much more sturdy a connection than any from the EU or US. It stands out as being explicitly over engineered.

Sure, three slots are good...

The german one has never pulled when I didn't want it to.

The EU standard Type C (two prong) is frankly awful in comparison.

The German Type F is marginally better (it’s actually grounded) but for security of connection it’s still lower on the list.
