It could be that the countries which use BS1363 plugs also
happen to have fewer idiots than those that don't, but I
rather doubt that's the reason it's gtenerally regarded as
the safest plug in the world.

Anyone want to buy non-fused BS1363 style plugs?

They've got nothing to do with BS1363, and have no type approval anywhere.

Not to mention the 6 months in prison and £5000 fine for anyone
importing them into the UK.
