Euro plug?   
Hi all,
I am planning my holidays in UK, travel with caravan and I wonder if I can 
use the standard euro plug/CEE (the blue one..) on UK camp sites, and if 
not, what do I use?
thx in advance from Holland,

I've never seen anything else on UK sites.
You should have no problem.
Enjoy your holiday, especially the exchange rate! ;~)

Yes it is terrible I'm going to Spain later in year, it is going to cost far 
more now than planned for.   At least 25% more.
Heard in Paris last week a guy got 1.02 euro for £1.

Yes but I would advise getting a polarity tester as, in my experience, 
many blue outlets on the continent have live and neutral reversed.

Having said that, if all of your electrical appliances are double-pole 
switched, and your power switches are all double pole and through a RCD 
then it is of little consequence.
