    As an electrician, when we were in the EU as part of My 17th & 18th edition we learned about "harmonisation". This was a legal framework put in place to ensure that all products across the EU complied with UK standards. If it had not been "harmonised" then it would not be available on the UK market.
    Since Brexit we now receive un-harmonised products which passes the cost and time on to the Engineers and business working in the UK, Whilst saving time and money for the producers in the EU.

This had nothing to do with the EU. Then you have the thousands that came to this country post war to replace the millions killed during WWII, again nothing to do with the EU.
    As for the caller wittering on about 3 point plugs, we still have 3 pin plugs. The EU never stopped us having 3 pin plugs.

    This is all Cameron's fault for being too weak and/or lazy to even try to explain why we should stay.
    The cause of this, and why these people are saying these things, is because for years/decades it was an easy way for our politicians to shift blame and excuse by saying it's Europe's fault.
    That with the media cheering them on is why Brexit vote when the other way.
    All we had to do was look at how people voted for Euro MPs, it was always a way of sticking it to the main parties without it really meaning anything., which is why the silly parties just like ukip did well there but no where in 'real' elections.

      No one seems to point out to these brexiteers who complain about the skin colour of the people in their communities (which has nothing to do with Europe) that maybe it was because they largely originated in countries which were part of The British Empire. People from Britain went out to their countries to rule over them and make them part of the Great British Family, so now they have come to the mother country to sample what we have to offer them.

    I live in the EU and I am an qualified engineer. Regarding the three pin plug comment you have to wonder about these people. In the Country where I live the Mains plugs and sockets are round two pins and two earth contacts. They are far easier to install and with circuit breakers which even allow sockets to be placed above sinks on bathrooms. Now if that is not considered safe in the UK that is a matter of opinion but I can tell you that we are not and never had experienced a dearth of electrocutions due to the safety of the electricity supply in houses.

    If 3-pin plugs are so great, why didn't the UK try to make them standard across the EU? I spent 30 years with 3-pin plugs and have now spent 32 years without them. I like the fact that I can now take ALL of my things with me on holiday and they all work without adapters. Is there a safety benefit to 3-pin plugs? Somehow, I rather doubt it. I had two mains shocks in the UK (I admit they were due to me own stupidity, but I was young) and have never had one anywhere else.

    • @johnhobbes2268
      @johnhobbes2268 7 годин тому

      I've read an article a while ago comparing the systems. There was a safety benefit in the beginning (because the longer middle plug connects to the ground first) which has longer a benefit since the security mechanism of the new Schuko (or type E and F). But there remains a small injury risk by the 3 pin plugs since they can lie up side down and cause pain of you step on them (which can cause more injuries from falling)

    The plug story is a load of BS…… EU also have 3 pin plugs. And we can choose the British ones if we wish. I am not sure if you can do that in GB Land. It’s easy anyway to put EU 2 pin plugs into a British socket. So easy! The British wiring system leaves a lot to be desired. In the EU it is intelligently piped so you can change the wires when the rules change without breaking walls. There is so much that one can waffle about when distracting form Brexit to 3 pin plugs….. at least that might be a Brexit benefit? 3 pin plugs existed even in the 60’s. I know because I am from Britain but got my first job in Italy after graduating in England. Lucky I left like a lot of the drain drain lot did in the late 70’s and 80’s……… graduate and go or leave school and go……! Reminds me of that sit com based on British immigrants working on building sites and living in Germany: ‘ Auf wiederesehen Pet’. A lot of us left like migrating swarms of birds……..!
