Why does the rest of the world use utterly shit plug designs compared to anglo (excluding amerilards) countries?
we have 3 prong too
actually everything is usb now sooooooo
>>219971404You can't power mains devices from USB
let me know when you figure out plumbing
>>219971431Maybe YOU can't, but then again you Britshits still haven't mastered having a single faucet.
why would you power a tap with a usb? if any water gets on it itll blow upretarded mutts
>>219971567Nothing wrong with having a hot and cold tap
>>219971613Is the hot tap cold enough to wash your hands? Seems a bit messy otherwise.
>>219971811No it just burns you, but if you need warm water just fill the basin.
>>219971837Complicated
>>219971837why is it that hot? so you can make a cup of tea any time?
>>219970962The German/EU plug also has a safety version with a third contact.The 2 pin plugs are only used for small devices with low power requirements.But the design is older than the British plug so not as advanced but good enough.
>>219971867It's just as hot as whatever you set the boiler to. The problem is most people have a mixed one in the kitchen so they'll set the boiler for that meaning the dual bathroom one is always scorching hot.
>>219971963so is it just old faucets that arent mixed or do they still install 2 seperate hot and cold taps?
>>219971613Nothing good about it, just an inconvenience.
>>219970962>>219971940It's also a lot harder to pull out compared to the 2 pin version.I can't imagine that a plug would need to be any harder to pull out.
>>219971998It's usually bathrooms that have two faucets, kitchens will have mixed ones. Though most new houses will have mixed ones in both.
>>2199709623 prong is way better and as safe as your fuckhuge spacehog plugs
>>219972509British plugs fit into narrow spaces better, also easier to fix yourself unlike every other design.
>>219972474oh i see. so there was some issue in the past that required you to need 2 taps but now its ok. i've actually seen it a few times before here too, but it's really rare. i think it was more common when people washed their laundry in the sink with a washboard
>>219972532A good chunk of british housing stock is ancient and things were designed around the idea you'd have a water tank for hot water so didnt want to mix drinking and dirty water together, most people can't be bothered to fuck around with the upstairs plumbing to allow a mixed tap. My house is from 1898 and we even found a newspaper about the titanic sinking under the floor boards.
>>219970962Yours has a major downside though. It's way too big and unwieldy. A lot worse than the average europlug.
>>219972578It's wide but slimmer since the cable points down from the plug rather than out, so easier to put in tight spaces.
>>219972530>easier to fix yourself unlike every other designI'll give you that
>>219972605>so easier to put in tight spaces.Not really. Having plug that size is real problem for extention cables. Makes them larger than they need to be, and them pointing downwards is more of nuance than a convenience, epsecially if you want you plugs to be vertical
>>219972575i think that's awesome. i built my house (well i had contractors come for the brick walls) only a few years ago. is there any downside to living in these really old buildings?
>>219972677Other than the walls being a bit less insulated not really. Victorians built shit to last unlike the trash they build these days.
