@Gargron Well, don't tell the Britons, but when our daughter had her "English language week", we actually had to sign a waiver that included that we acknowledge gems like "UK building standards are not up to European standards" (that was before the BrExit referendum).

But yes they still install appliances like lamps permanently connected to the wall plug (with a cable that cannot be unplugged). Here in AT we stopped that for washing machines 25 years ago or so.
