[PLUG] [OT] Where to get adapters for British outlets?

[Stephen Gran <steve@lobefin.net>]

Hello all,

A friend of mine is going to move to scotland for a year or so, and he
is looking to pick up some adapters that will let him plug in his
American appliances into Scottish current.  It's my understanding that
they use plugs with little round pins instead of our bar pins, and that
they also use a different current supply, so that he would need not only
an interface change, but a real voltage converter.  Is this accurate, to
the best of anyone's knowledge?  If so, does anyone know where to pick a
bunch of these up?

Thanks all.

p.s. - Sorry for the OT, but it does involve plugging in a dual-boot
computer . . . :)
