They’re like that in this apartment we’re renting and I keep seeing them elsewhere. I don’t get it.

    UK household electricity is pretty spicy compared to many other places - it has more safety features as a result. (3 pinned fused plug, socket switches etc)

      Isn’t it just 230v 50 Hz like most of the world?

      Apparently around 65-70 % of the world population (with access to electricity) has 230v 50 Hz.

      I have been with 110v plenty of times used to wire houses in my youth. Been hit once with 220v knocked me on my ass for 3 days. I stopped being so cavalier after that I wish they had those outlets vs the midevil outlets the US has.
