You can get 'travel adaptors' in plenty of shops in the UK, including at airports and ferry ports.ÌýHowever, they are only rated at about 3.5 toÌý7 amps [depending on type] so you can't use them for stuff like kettles and some high tech UK hair dryers.Ìý The plugs also canÌýwarm up quite a lot when in useI keep a couple of adaptorsÌý for travelling to/from my holiday place in italy - but as a permanent solution I have a couple of UK '4-way' extension leads atÌýthe house,Ìýthat I have cut the UK plug off of, and fitted an ½ûÂþÌìÌà one instead.
