Just the opposite. The Euro plug is not designed that you can travel
across Europe with your 3680W water boiler and plug it in everywhere,
but for all those = 575W gadgets, people like to have with them, while
they are travelling, but also for devices being fully insolated, hence
mot requiring the protective ground like VCR, TV, RCR, audio
amplifiers, satellite receivers, battery chargers, etc, etc.

You take those with you when you travel? ;-)

therefore I said "... but also for...." ,-)

But it won't fit a UK outlet due to the shutters - so not a true Euro plug.

Yeah well, the 'Islanders' always had to be slightly different from the rest
of the world :-)
