People living somewhere on the British Islands.
This is a device that produces static electricity
You plug a power plug in a power socket
I have marked on this image of the power plug where the static electricity gets delivered into the power socket
Let me clarify my point:
- Washing machines produce static electricity
- Walls and sockets don’t produce static electricity
Let me add another point that I’m trying to make here
- The dangerous looking pin in European sockets is not dangerous at all
Also note that the Germans and the Dutch use sockets that don’t have the dangerous looking pin. Both types of sockets and both types of plugs are compatible with each other. European continental standardisation is very useful sometimes.
Let’s take a look at the European plug and the location where it delivers the static electricity to the wall socket.
Let’s now compare that with an actual photo of a British Island’s (Irish guys use it too) plug.
My adult male finger (I have very thick fingers compared to Tinne’s skinny fingers and Tinne has thick fingers compared to a small child’s fingers) fitted in the space. It was possible for me to fully touch the static electricity pin. The device was powered on so the two pins for delivering the actual electricity where completely connected.
Now let’s see some actual photos of the European plug in action. Decide for yourself.
The solution is to convert those crazy English, Irish, Northern Irish, Scotts and Welshman (boy, I do hope I didn’t forget anybody) to the European system :-)
