Our moulded plugs are rather complicated because of the fuse and the need to be able to change it. Also, plugs suffer damage, and we like to be able to replace the plug without having to replace the whole cable. Re-wireable Euro plugs do exist, but you have to buy them from electrical shops. -- This is my travelling signature, adding no superfluous mass.
