Note for Vincent: the UK has different mains electricity sockets than
most other European countries:

- UK uses BS 1363 (aka IEC 60083 Type G):
  
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets:_British_and_related_types#BS_1363_three-pin_(rectangular)_plugs_and_sockets

- Much of the rest of Europe uses CEE 7 sockets, but these are not used
  in the UK:
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEE_7_standard_AC_plugs_and_sockets


Mains electrical items shipped to the UK must typically have a BS 1363
plug or risk being delayed/impounded at customs.

(I think this stems from The Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety)
Regulations 1994: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1994/1768/made .)

So, best to check the mains plugs are UK legal before shipping.  If they
aren't, it may be wise to ship the boards without plugs/PSUs and let
Andy source those locally.
