the eruopeans consider the english one too dangerous i think. can't remember how many volts a european one is but yes you will need a converter.

I thought that it was the other way around?? Every english person here (in germany) brags about how "safe" their plugs are, because they also have a 3rd grounding pin, until I tell them that there is a 3rd pin in america, too :rolleyes:

Anyways, here in germany there are two pins/240v, sooooo prolly france has two/240v, too?

Yea just found out France is 2 Pins and 230 - 240 Volts... I would have though UK Plugs would be the Worlds most safest..... strange ... any way Why the Hell do different countries have different plugs??? Wouldnt it be easier if they were all the same as the UK Plugs hehe
