small correction/addition:
on the plug the grounding socket is additional to the side-contacts
making this plug the default plug for all Europe. I would recommend
investing in this plug (CEE 7/7 hybrid) for all <10A Class I apparatus.

I actually did write:
There is a version of the Schuko plug which *also* accommodates the
'other' 10 A wall socket that has a projecting pin for earth/ground
instead of side-contacts.
I will admit that it is perverse of English to use 'also' to mean 'in
addition' rather than 'therefore', as it does in a better language. (;-)
For the UK you may order a hand fulf of their oddly shaped giant fused
plugs that seems more suitable for a machine that for a computer for
example but I must admit that the CEE7/7 plug is rather big also.
Yes, not much difference.

BTW John, how do you take your shaver to the continent, don't you
exceed the size limits for hand bagage ?
<humor OFF>
For the shaver (they still come with a flat version of the British 5 A
2-pin plug as standard) I have adapters, which, being 2-pin, are quite
small, but for the portable computer I have British, Continental and US
mains leads.
