The UK plugs are over engineered for their task though. It's occasionally useful that you can use the same outlet that you use for your 4.5W iPhone to use for 6000W welding torch but IMHO the Euro plugs that are a third the size and a third the price are a better use of resources.
When you imagine there are hundreds of millions of these plugs that bit of over-engineering really adds up. Really, when was the last time you plugged in anything above 2KW?
