They are indeed murder on bare feet. The article sadly didn't mention two other excellent aspects: - They are very, very secure: you pretty much can't rip a British plug out of the wall with the cord. My US plugs, by comparison, are always coming half out and terrifying me with thoughts of sparking fires. - All multi-way adapters are oriented the same way, so you know your stuff will fit. Contrast with a US 4 way, where one will be vertical, one horizontal, and absolutely none will let you plug in a 'wall wart' without blocking access to another free socket.
