Great British Design (1)
Dear First Great Western. I know that in the days of Brunel—where the British rail system still seems to live—Apple computers (and their chargers) were a far utopia of the future, but when I recently tried to use my Macbook Pro on one of your trains, this occured to me (see picture). And thanks to the clever 3-pin design of the British Standards 1363 plug I couldn't even turn it around and be able to use it (as I would with European plugs), although the 3rd (earth) pin which hindered me in doing so has no function at all. Great British Design.
