Does anybody know where I can get a Italy TO UK electric adaptor?..............two pin to three pin...............or is it change plugs when you over over there? S

You can get 'travel adaptors' in plenty of shops in the UK, including at airports and ferry ports. However, they are only rated at about 3.5 to 7 amps [depending on type] so you can't use them for stuff like kettles and some high tech UK hair dryers.  The plugs also can warm up quite a lot when in useI keep a couple of adaptors  for travelling to/from my holiday place in italy - but as a permanent solution I have a couple of UK '4-way' extension leads at the house, that I have cut the UK plug off of, and fitted an Italian one instead.

Thanks Alan H............It's the Italian to UK adaptors I'm finding hard to source, thanks for the info though, (I'll take a screwdriver with me in case I need to change plugs!)Cheers,S

Before we came to Italy we bought a large pack of Italian to English adaptors from Ebay, they were very cheap and have worked well. There are some on ebay at the moment on this link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/15-Travel-adapter-Plug-UK-to-EU-Euro-Europe-France_W0QQitemZ150360429987QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_TravelTickets_Accessories_RL?hash=item23022e15a3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Hope that helps
