What's the safest type of plug socket?

My grlfriend is Swedish and cannot believe that the UK would have anything better or safer than Sweden has, but I'm pretty sure I heard that the British 13A is the safest in the World. So who's right?

The best answer will be the one that provides the most reliable source.

    A good old fashioned gfci plug is the safest plug to use.

    And a ********* is safe.

    You and your Girlfriend need to get a life. Maybe needlepoint or something along those lines, but arguing who's got the safer outlet??

    The safest one is a plug that is wired correctly.
