Wrong! I'm using using items bought in India for the Indian market . Many of the wall sockets in homes I visit have two sets of round receptacles one below the other, each with a slightly different spacing between the holes to accommodate the different plugs (Type C and Type D) and these are even different in sizes from the larger round ones used for heavy kitchen appliances (Type M). With the double receptacles I can use the Indian pins or the old style British pins. It is that the contacts tend to be very loose.
