So you bought a German product from a German supplier and then said
It can easilly happen on a site like Amazon that one doesn't realise where the supplier is until after clicking the buy button.

SighSo you bought a German product from a German supplier and then said ..... Ho hum.
What sort of UK plug?So, saying a UK plug has two pins would be the same, then?

It does, so why would "saying a UK plug has two pins be the same" ?Exactly, and the schuko clearly has two.
You said JohnD was being pedantic in stating that the schuko has two pins, when Bernard said it was a three pin plug,, so I could say the UK plug only has two pins and you would be pedantic in saying it has three.It does, so why would "saying a UK plug has two pins be the same" ?
Fair enough.You said JohnD was being pedantic in stating that the schuko has two pins, when Bernard said it was a three pin plug,, so I could say the UK plug only has two pins and you would be padantic in saying it has three.
They do, and it's isn't.Some people say this is a "plug" .... It isn't.
The more types one considers the harder it becomes to have a rule which defines which is the plug and which is the socket, and which connector is male and which is female (consider the mains-rated XLR plugs and sockets). And both of those problems arise before you consider things like the CEE 7/5 & 7/6, where each item has both male and female parts.I suppose my view of "X-pin" is that it relates to a plug/socket pair, regardless of whether or not all the male connectors are attached to the same component.
Apply that to these:Females have a socket
Males have a pin (sometimes more than one) to plug into it.
