British. because i'm British but also because you don't have access to the live and neutral before you stick the plug in, the earth pin is slightly longer therefore goes in first which lifts the gates on the live and neutral allowing the live and neutral pins to enter the socket. so it's good safety wise especially for kids. also the plugs don't just rip out of the walls easily if you snag a cable. fairly easy to rewire and they have individual fuses in them. I think US don't have fuses in their plugs at all? just rely on the breakers?
