Given the recent commentary on the new design for a folding version of the UK mains plug, I should share a tip a friend gave me - you can put a UK mains plug in 'upside down' to an adapter strip.

This means only the earth pin is connected, thus earthing your case but without running the risk of having live connected, even if isolated via a switch on the PSU.
