  • Do people in Scotland also use these "Type G" kind of plugs?

    Are those also being used for, say, iPhone chargers (or are there smaller / non-grounded plugs as well for that)?

  • Yes, that is the only plug in common use in the UK. There are no non-grounded sockets.

    You get non-grounded plugs/chargers with a plastic earth pin but that is probably not what you mean.

    (I'll be disappointed if no-one on here in the UK doesn't have some unusual sockets, my in-laws have 5A round pin lamp sockets for example, switched by the door)

    Edit: I forgot shaver sockets in bathrooms - they have an isolating transformer and aren't used for much apart from shavers and electric toothbrushes. Very low current available.
