Hmm, I wonder if this is the sometimes differing E/F pin size mentioned in this thread. In Ireland we use type G but poorly informed manufacturers sometimes ship devices with europlugs. I couldn't fit them into my type G sockets without physically deforming the socket as the diameter of the round E/F pins are larger than the smaller dimension on the type G pins. (Now granted, some cheaper sockets, particularly on extension leads, you could deform the cheap plastic enough by just ramming it in there..)
