Which is why, no doubt, plugs are not being sold, only wall-warts, which don't have to comply with that standard. The fact is that as a plug it cannot comply with BS 1363.

The real design problem here is definitely the extremely clumsy form of the standard British plug, as some of you have pointed out. I am deeply impressed by the (almost origami-like) way Min-Kyu Choi transforms this monstrosity to something neat and slim. He he!

I am an Audiovisual technician, and have a kit of bits and pieces. I am always looking at ways to reduce the size and weight of the kit and increase possibilities, so this would be a great compliment to it. I am also from New Zealand, and hate how bulky UK plugs are. I'm not a great advocate for going toward the Shuko/European plugs, as they aren't polarised, and also as ugly in my opinion (grounded ones anyway). The recessed sockets are a dirt trap. Are these available to buy? Love the idea, and want some. I am an Audiovisual technician, and have a kit of bits and pieces.
