[dba-Tech] Power cables

No ideas about the cables.

But what is a skip?  The trash?

Obviously from the other side of the pond,

I've just opened a fairly large consignment of printers, and they're all
full of European power cables as well as the UK type. As I was throwing them
in the skip, it struck me that this was a huge waste, both in terms of the
whole manufacturing process and the environment... then a question struck me
- when you buy electronic goods in Europe do they come with UK power cables
as well as the EU ones or is it just unique to the UK?
 
I must have 50 or 60 of the things here in various boxes and cupboards, and
if anyone in the EU has a load of UK cables then it seems obvious to not
chuck them away, but to send them to each other... 
 
Any thoughts anyone? :-P
