As a matter of interest, does anyone in the world outside the UK
use UK phone plugs?

No.

I stand by my statement ;-)

Well I suppose if you consider that Tel Aviv has a street named after
General Allenby and New Zealand is like going back in time 13 hours and 30

I saw a 15A 3 pin socket in Jerusalem once. Relic of the British Mandate I
suppose.

There are still a few around. They are the standard thing in South
Africa and there are the 5A ones as well.
