[dba-Tech] Power cables

Maybe a plot to attempt to force the UK into line with the rest of the EU.

Interesting... I just thought it was a complete waste because we get the EU
ones with virtually every piece of electronic equipment. Maybe I will start
saving them and ebay them... Thanks guys :-)

Hi Jon

We only receive the EU cables.

Surplus equipment we pass on to friends of the house or charity or to a
local broker. Here defective equipment must be returned to an authorised
recycling station which we do.

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...
