      The top hole is a safety device, that when the top prong is inserted, elevates the safety barriers in the bottom 2 holes, to allow the bottom 2 prongs to make a circuit.

      So yes, the UK plug is objectively safer than the 2 hole equivalent.

      Perhaps on the continent, they're using it as a form of Darwinian selection for children?
      I just stuck a fork in the plug here, all it does is trip a circuit breaker for the room.

      Mind you, I look like Don King now
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        No it isn't. Two pronged plug has a metal clip that does exactly the same thing as a three pronged plug. In other words it also has an extra ground connection, it just isn't a prong.

          For people who don't understand two pronged plugs here is an explanation.

            Perhaps our continental cousins finally realised a safety feature was a good thing, as the old continental plugs were more like this;
            Power plug & outlet Type C - World Standards

              Two prong plugs are fine. It was the sockets that were problematical, and eventually made illegal to fit.
              Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Looks like a UK shaver plug.
