Not sure It is cost effective to take that sort of stuff back to Blighty, unless you have a large van planned already, probably easier to flog locally before you go, but then I don't know your circumstances.. we've just taken the plunge, but in the other direction!!

You will either have to change the plugs or use an adaptor.  We have moved a couple of times and found the answer in purchasing a few of the multi outlet strips  and then only one plug per three or four appliances need to be changed.

Well ........................."You will either have to change the plugs or use an adaptor. ...........found the answer in purchasing a few of the multi outlet strips and then only one plug per three or four appliances need to be changed."Remember - if you use a multi point adaptor [with a changed plug] you shouldn't exceed 3KW load on the adaptor [assuming a 13 amp fuse].
