Having been to Blighty a couple o' times, I can recommend that you pick
up an adapter plug from your local AAA/CAA office, or at your origin or
destination airports. Believe me, they're everywhere, and the sales
clerks will likely know exactly what you need. You can also find this
info all over the Web using the trusty search engine of your choice.
been there done that. all i got was the same cryptic stuff that Julian
mentioned (no offence mate). 13A? to me, that's a rotary engine, not a
power plug.
Just means "thirteen amps." Which, at 240V AC, means it's packing about
twice the total wattage of a standard North American outlet.
I found that, although it wasn't perfect, plug adapters I had for France
would work in Britain. Required minor fiddling, and would probably give
local electrical inspectors fits.
Anyways, try this URL:
http://www.voltageconverters.com/plug_adapters.html
That's just one of the first I came up with on a Google. You can also try
this one:
http://traveloasis.com/grounadwa1wa2.html
The above URL seems to have a good guide to the various
configurations. Noodle around on their site a bit.
Ciao, mang. And have fun!
