So why is an article about the Metropolitan Police forensic lab in south London (UK) illustrated with a stock photo of what appears to be a US power socket? (It might be a Euro socket, but it's certainly not a UK one.) Do they not have electricity sockets anywhere at the BBC that they could have taken a picture of?


This is the illustration I see (I think it might be European):

This is what very nearly every power outlet in the U.S. looks like, down to the color, vertical configuration, and flat-head screw in the center:

Those are identical to the outlets I saw in Germany, so I guess they're European. Definitely not American though.


Yep, they're German.
