Apparently the 55-0-55 volt worksite power system used in UK likes to use the NEMA 5-15 outlet style.
The 110V building site power here normally uses the very bulky connectors known as BS4343, CEEform, and other designations.

However, as far as domestic use is concerned, there's nothing in the U.K. to prevent the use of NEMA receptacles (or any other type for that matter).
For comparison, the "60 Hz" field rate of NTSC television is actually slightly less than that,
The nominal frequency was adjusted down to 59.94Hz with the adoption of the NTSC color system. By contrast, the 50Hz field rate of British/European TV is still nominally 50Hz.
