24 0 ReplyThe Chad Type-G.
20 0 ReplyCan I point out the UK BS1363 (type G) plug is the only one you can use to open a bottle of beer.
I'm not sure what that says about the UK.
18 0 ReplyNot the kind of plug I was hoping for
16 0 ReplyBut why male models?
15 0 ReplyWhat we really need is a USB-C-style reversible plug with data and variable voltage where neutral and phase never reverse and earth is always there.
Lacking that, I vote for Type N because it's small, polarised, and the pins are halfway-insulated. I don't like that the frame is symmetrical, so in the dark, the only way to tell which way to plug in is to feel the pins and the holes, same as USB-A. I reject all that hurt to step on.
14 0 ReplyType G is UK and we have the best plugs in the world. Go watch any videos on YouTube discussing all the safety features. Work of art they are.
14 0 ReplySchuko Type C/F (compatible with E) is the best, hands down.
12 0 ReplyG is the best, we have a working ground pin and make a good flail

I’m only familiar with US standards but this doesn’t seem to cover our other plugs for higher voltages.
4 0 ReplyType G masterrace represent! The UK may have shit food, shit weather, shit people, shit politicians, shit culture and a shit economy but at least we've got good plugs...
4 0 ReplyType I best. I don't have anything to back that up but also it does stay in pretty good and it's my one so yeah
3 0 ReplyI've never known any of these to be identified by letters. Where I am in North America, I tend to refer to receptacles by their NEMA code.
