God damn Europeans. Again theyve managed to piss me off with their stupid quirks.

Here is what a British appliance plug looks like

Here is what most of Europe uses as its appliance plug

Can you simply buy an adaptor that will let you plug in a British appliance into a European outlet? When I first got to the UK from Canada I had to buy all sorts of adaptors that let my North American appliances (laptop, phone charger, etc) plug into the ridiculously stupid looking UK power outlet. Now Im heading to the Netherlands soon (over time Ive replaced my North American appliances with UK versions).. will I be able to simply buy an adaptor again to plug my UK appliances in European adaptors? Or do I need to buy some crazy current or voltage modifying tool to be able to do it?
