On the subject of adaptors, How about the ones suplied with
some Electric Razors, that comprised a BC Baynet socket with
TWO swinging pins on the other side that could be moved so
as to plug into Any socket!, 5 Amp, 10 Amp, 15 Amp, 2 or 3Pin,
and I even saw one pushed into a 13 Amp socket !
with a Baynet to 5 Amp 2 Pin plugged in with a TV running off it !.
