What's the safest type of plug socket?

Question

My grlfriend is Swedish and cannot believe that the UK would have anything better or safer than Sweden has, but I'm pretty sure I heard that the British 13A is the safest in the World. So who's right?

The best answer will be the one that provides the most reliable source.

Answer 1

You and your Girlfriend need to get a life. Maybe needlepoint or something along those lines, but arguing who's got the safer outlet??

Answer 2

The safest one is a plug that is wired correctly.

A good old fashioned gfci plug is the safest plug to use.

And a ********* is safe.
