extension leads from England

When we moved out here we shipped some of our furniture over including some electrical goods. One of the most useful things we had was an extension lead with a multiple English socket on one end. changed the plug end for a Turkish two pin plug and saved ourselves a lot of bother. It worked well and caused no problems.

That's a good idea, never thought of that.

Plus, in most cases it means you've got an on-line fuse in place.

In this country it is possible to buy plugs with earths so no problem there.

I though the two pin Turkish plugs had an earth tag?

Some 2 pin plugs have an earth connection, some don't.

We brought UK extension leads then put them into a uk/turkish plug conversion without any problems.
