In America, our plugs are just one piece. They plug in, they unplug.
But I’ve seen that Brits have to open up the plugs, mess with stuff, screw it back together, and then use it.
Why aren’t British plugs one piece like American ones?

UK plugs are possibly the best in the world, the have their own fuse, the ground pin works with the socket to make it safer, the ground wire will fail last so the plug is safer, the plug holds in the socket by design and they’re user repairable; a damaged cable can be cut down and have a new plug added.
