So you're suggesting changing every single plug socket in every house/business/office premises in the UK? Then changing every single plug on every appliance you own (or using a converter) Seems like a huge undertaking to me.

It has happened in other countries and in other times. It may be called progress by some, even.

OF course it would happen over time. ITs not any huge issue - certainly not bigger than the issue of selling different appliances every 1000 miles across Europe. Adapters are 10-cent items in bulk. In America we have more than one standard we live with every day - two-prong plugs, 3-prong plugs, 220-volt plugs vs 110. You hardly every even think about it, except when you're shuffling through the pantry drawer, looking for an adapter.
