Does anyone want this? Purchased from Germany. The angle of the pins
is not quite right for my Schuko socket but I suspect other sockets
may be more tolerant (or an adjustment could be made). I am not
looking for any payment and can therefore confidently offer a money
back guarantee!

If interested, just sort out the following email address:

There is something wrong there if somethiung which is sold for
use in Germany won't fit a Schuko socket.

Is it by any chance a 2-pin Europlug?

You mention a possible adjustment - to what? Is it because the
pins aren't parallel and you think they are bent?

The pins of a Europlug aren't intended to be parallel but
point inwards at the tips.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europlug#Details

I agree with everything you say.

It is definitely a Europlug. I know the distinction between that and
a UK two-pin plug. The pins are indeed angled inwards. The problem I
think is that they are angled too much. This could be a manufacturing
error or damage in transit. As a result, it sticks in a Schuko
socket. I bought a replacement, which fits perfectly.

I don't believe it is counterfeit but cannot offer any guarantee.

Whilst it struggles to fit a Schuko socket (which is a tight fit
anyway), I think it might work fine in other socket types that are
more tolerant. I know it works electrically.

For these reasons I am quite happy to pass it on to anyone interested
rather that bin it.
