    plugs!!! - dull i know!

    Hey guys

    Just wondering if anyone off hand knows where I can get a plug adapter that will allow me to use the bits and bobs that I purchased in America.

    Any ideas will be cool

    Make sure you get a transformer, unless the items say that they can safely work from 230V. Just a simple plug adapter won't do.

    Take heed of Rave's warning.
    An appliance that isn't universally rated can kill.
    A 120V appliance that's rated as 1000 watts will be burning 4000 watts on a 240V supply

    Does anything hurt more than standing on an up-turned standard British plug?
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    it happened to my dad when he was young, it came running down the stairs and then jumped on a plug, he did not see it. He had a nice 3-pin scar on his foot

    It will work in the UK using a simple plug adapter. No transformer needed.
