> It's easier to connect a European plug which has 2 round pins than it is to connect a UK plug which has 3 rectangular pins at different angles. Speaking strictly on plugs - while I agree it is simpler/easier - I disagree that EU plug is better. For the bulk and lack of directionality - significantly safer (pin lengths, shielded to tip), requires a ground pin even if dummy, carries 13A easy! The safety aspects are incredible[0]. I do not worry about my small children at all. Lived in HK where the EU (China) and UK (HK) are pretty common in one household.
