Continental style plugs

[sniff diesel]

Is there anywhere in the UK that sells Continental style plugs?

Actual plugs, or UK->EU convertors? No idea on the former, but loads of places do the latter, like Boots, Maplin etc.

I'm after actual plugs rather than adapters, as the adapters are only rather to just over 2kw so wouldn't be enough for a kettle etc.

Schuko is the generic name for them.

The real question is which one hurts more when you stand on it?

Why do Europe use the two-prong plugs and we have a 3 prong plug?

Because they're foreigners.
