Having experienced US electrical systems over the last few days I can say that I feel a LOT safer using an Irish / British or schuko 230V plug than a US 110V equivilant. Plugs visibly spark, it seems like it's quite possible to touch live pins on many plugs.

I also don't like the extensive use of Zipcord on many appliences including things like microwaves, irons and washing machines!! These cables just look fragile compared with a normal European 3-core double insulated cable.

so i agree with that. schuko & H05VV-F 3G1,5 rule [Linked Image]
