- mietek 13y agoA common trick to insert a EU-style plug into a UK-style socket is to temporarily insert something in the ground pin socket. An ordinary house key works well, and has the added bonus of shocking bystanders. Granted, UK-style plugs really are excellent pieces of engineering, best appreciated when upturned and trod upon in the dark.
