Unless you step on one, as mentioned in the article. UK plugs *hurt* :-)
Mentioned it elsewhere on this ng., but I still like US plugs purely for
things like phone chargers, where you can fold the power pins away and
make them nice and compact. Other than that, they are a bit of a disaster...

I suspect a heavy dose of "British humor" was intended here...
Blame our sockets for Apple's demented charger design but not mention
that we have at least four common types of 110 volt plugs (that I can
think of off the top of my head)?

Well, I don't know...we seem to have a "veritable plethora" of devices
operating somehow _despite_ all that disaster (whatever it may be)... :)
