The uk ha[ds] round pins on their plugs as well; and you'll usually find the 
round pin'd plugs used in theatres.  They were varying in size and came in 3 
values:  smallest 2 amp (I think), middle 5 amp (I think), largest 15 amp 
(as used in theatres - well they were when I last worked in one...the number 
of the plugs that had the cord sleeve (moulded into the "lid") cut as you 
were supposed to put the wire through them before wiring into the plug was 
rather large due to the forgetfulness, and laziness, of the staff/students).

The smallest plugs hurt rather a lot when trodden on due to their small size...
