I’d like to take this oppurtunity to point out that UK plugs are, by a long shot, the best plugs.
They have ground.
They slot in and stay in.
The structure of the plug means that the wire comes out the bottom and not the back, which is better for plugging stuff in behind furniture.
Basically every other plug-type is ass compared to UK plugs.
There are American plugs that also put the wire out the side rather than perpendicular to the wall. diagonally down is most normal so that it wouldn’t block the lower outlet when installed in the upper outlet. I also have some six-gang outlet extenders with the sockets on the sides rather than the front.

Their only real disadvantage is how comically large they can make normally small power bricks
And stepping on one makes Lego seem tame.
… What? I have lots of right angle cables. The way the wire “comes out” of the plug is not limited by the plug itself.
