Re: News - UK Folding Plug concept could be best thing since electricity

What sort of safety regulations govern plugs these days?

It's got a fuse and it's got the three prongs so i imagine it would be ok, but do the wires need to be a certain thickness/certain insulation thickness?

I'd happily buy a pack of ten and go round rewiring all of the gadgets i use the most! The idea to put a double width one as a USB adaptor on the three way (as well as a standard socket) is genius, i'd definitely get one of those. At the moment i use a Sony Walkman transformer block and one of those standard AC cables. Or one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-1000mA-.../dp/B000SD4KBE
