I've just acquired a piece of kit that has a continental 2 pin plug. To
comply with guarantee I do not wish to remove it. I am looking for an
adapter that will allow me to plug it into a UK socket. I've Googled
but cannot find one, electric razor ones are no use. I'd realy like the
type that lock the continental plug into the adapter. Can anyone please
help?

Um...see above! I'm guessing that he means it's no use becasue he
doesn't want it separate...

I'd realy like the type that lock the continental plug into the
adapter. Can anyone please help?

Thank you one and all for your help. Tried the local Morrison's, no
stock, local Maplin people did not know what I was talking about, so I
have ordered one on line at euronetwork as suggested by Stuart.
Cheers

A razor adaptor should work.

They only have a low current fuse, so it's quite likely it won't work.

Bad news, then, as the adaptor the OP is looking for is rated at 600 watts
and fused at 3 amps...
