Have you seen the way they connect their wires? They just twist them

Multiply that by double current and it's no wonder they have fires -
Sounds dodgy!
I've spent time in the US and Japan, and I have to say that those flat
blade sockets are an atrocious design. They suffer sloppy fit problems
very easily . Those countries don't seem to have switched wall sockets
either, which the Uk standard has, so you get more arcing if plugging
in live equipment

In the US, we know better than to do stupid crap like plugging in live
equipment.

Good Luck!
