old to new style shaver adapter
Hi,
I have an old style shaver adapter in the bathroom (these take slightly thinner plugs than the new ones) and a requirement to plug in a device with a new style plug. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy |

Thanks, Andy The "continental adaptors" used to plug UK plugs into euro sockets should work. They usually take 2-pin shaver plugs which are too big to go directly into the european mains sockets.

Chris This worked perfectly - they even have rounded bits in the uk bit of the adapter for this purpose. Thanks. Andy |
