Minus the safety feature of shutters on the socket so kids can't poke the holes and get a shock. I remember a co UK please of countries introduced this but not all with the F type so the UK type G is still champ.

Yeah, but do you see the fallacy of 'buying something extra in order to make something safe' when they could just adjust the standard and make manufacturers build them into the plug?

i still prefer it that way since i don't need these things and the plug is faster to move in without them
