Comment on The clueless people are out there among us

Tell me you’re clueless without telling me you’re clueless…

UK sockets have switches on the socket that disconnects it. It’s not even up for the debate, UK plug is the best. Everyone with minimum of 2 braincells knows this.

I could hear Jupiter from the Planets Suite swelling in my head as I read this post. Hurrah for tea and toasted crumpets!

  What kind of British are you?
  
  Cream or jam first?

    I’ve always been jam first, but since I learned my gran was from Devon I’m re-evaluating that.

    This means war.
    
    Easier to spread clotted cream and then just let jam fall off the spoon. Anything else is barbaric.

AU plugs all do that too. The UK system is weird.

  There are many flaws in AU plug… Its a poor copy.
  
  So the top prong is longer, so it goes in first and “opens” the bottom two holes. It will also not shock you if you accidentally touch it. The lower two prongs are sleeved so they only make contact when fully inserted. The pins themselves are also more solid so they are basically impossible to snap.
  
  That’s the most major differences between the two.

    Earth pin is at the bottom though.
