Plug notes

Type G is most common. Devices using a Europlug (Type C) may be sold but require an adaptor, since there are usually no sockets for them. Some power strips accept both Type C and G plugs via slightly wider apertures and modified shutter mechanisms. Type M is used mainly for air conditioners and boilers. Bathrooms may have shaver supply units.
