 What type of socket plugs are used in BG

Hey

I brought some electrical item last year to SB and I had a travel adaptor plug which I thought would have worked, but didn't.

I think the plug I brought is the same type used in the states - 2 pins - volts from 140 - 220 approx.

Is the adaptors used in BG different? Can they picked up in the supermarkets easily enough in the resorts?

Cheers

Linda

Hiya

On reflection, I think in the states the actuall pins that go into the wall are rectangular shape?
The plugs I brought had round pins to go into the wall?

Haven't got a clue what I brought to be honest - when I pluged my GHD in, it was luke warm when fully heated? Which was very strange indeed

If I brought the plugs for the states I'm sure nothing would have happend at all?

Either way, not to worry, I'll pick some up in the airport.

Only 18 more days to go and I'll be there....

Very Happy

or 12 more work days....he he Smile

Cheers Booze

Hence why I don't want to have the same problem again

My hair was tied back for the whole two weeks last time, Looking around at everyone else with perfect hair, was a pain in the a**! Sad

Let's hope this time round...the god dam thing works

Appears to be the correct adaptor.

Your GHD, (whatever that is?!), not heating up is more than likely to do with the hotel power supply, not the adaptor.

Thanks Pauline, not something I have had a problem with for many many years!

I think it's to do with voltage, the power supply in the resorts has always been creaky, in winter there are power cuts all over Bulgaria on a rota basis.

B & Q have a sale on just now, you are getting two european adaptors for 25p.
Were meant to be £1 but you are getting 75% off just now.
Well this is the case in my local B&Q in Dundee.
