Yes, the Brit plugs are great until you step on them in the night

Who just leaves plugs lying around on the floor though?

To be honest unexpectedly stepping on any plug that's lying around on the floor is pretty unpleasant :)

Yes but the UK plug has a high likelihood of idling with its prongs pointing up, a characteristic not shared with most other plug designs. As painful as it is to step on the side of a plug, stepping directly on the prongs is worse.
