Can you get an adaptor that plug in a British appliance to a European outlet?
 

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

Here is what a British appliance plug looks like

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?

yes - at every airport. most devices nowadays switch automatically between 110 and 220 volts

Yep, every airport, eurostar station and every major supermarket and some petrol garages. In my experience most of them aren't too great though, they work most of the time but you may need something pushed up against the socket to keep the damn things in!

When I used to travel a lot I ended up buying something like this

Google it!

When in the UK check that the current is on by wetting a finger and insert in socket, best done while standing in water...

Did you honestly have to ask? I mean come on....

yes, you can get it
