Default 2-pin plug supplied

Yes and as far as I am aware, the voltage can legally be 230v. Most devices
that run off these plugs are supposed to compensate. I have noticed, however
that there do seem to be two varieties of this plug, one with slightly
thinner pins.

But when unpacked, (after much fighting and cussing) it only has a 2-pin

suitable 3pin-to-2pin adaptors. But is the supplier (Morrisons, who
probably have no idea what they sell) not obliged to supply a UK-ready
device? I think I saw something about this recently, but can't remember
where, nor the outcome.


There's a provision in the Regulations for shavers and similar items to be
used in bathrooms, which have 2 pin plugs suitable for shaver outlets. It
should be a proper UK shaver plug though, not a Euro 2-pin.
