I disagree, way overengineered and bulky. The fuse is only necessary due to shoddy British wiring standards.

It seems that most of the continental Europeans that have moved to the UK (myself included) are positively amazed by the details of the UK plug design.
- barrkel 5y agoThe area around Swiss sockets are more bulky in practice because (a) wires come out at 90 degrees to the wall and (b) adapters and extensions and whatnot are required to plug in wall-warts, which are really common these days, whether it's USB power for various gadgets, cordless vacuum cleaners, video Alexa (not USB-powered), etc.
