I should know the answer to the cos I completed 2 years ago but is it possible to simply cut off the plug of UK purchased electrical goods and stick on a Spanish plug? If so, is the wiring easy?  Thanks, Arlene.

Either that or get lots of spanish adaptors. Other half says easy to cut plug off and fit Spanish one. Just 2 wires apparently earth(green and yellow one) wire has no use.

Hope this helps

 Hi,

We got a pile of adaptors from Asda before we moved out. They were only about 99p each.

carla /dave  please remind me where you live on condado as i dont want to be near you when your unearthed electrical goods catch fire , the system for electric is the same as ours at home, you do use the earth if the appliance has one , and not connecting it is very dangerous  .in spain and in the uk you  get 2 classes of electrical goods   , class 2 appliances do not have an earth as they are double insulated, but all class 1 goods do,  so please re connect the earth to any item that has one , failure to do so could result in the fuse/ breaker not disconnecting the supply and a fire resulting. if you look on a spanish plug with an earth it is the gold spring like connector @ 12 o' clock to the live and neutral pins @ 3 and 9 respectively, if your cable only has 2 wires then no need to worry it is class 2

Good Luck !!

Kirk must make an emergency stop at the next uncharted planet, Alpha Regula IV, to procure a light bulb from the natives. Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu, and 3 red shirt security officers beam down. The 3 security officers are promptly killed by the natives, and the rest of the landing party is captured. Meanwhile, back in orbit, Scotty notices a Klingon ship approaching and must warp out of orbit to escape detection. Bones cures the native king who is suffering from the flu, and as a reward the landing party is set free and given all of the light bulbs they can carry. Scotty cripples the Klingon ship and warps back to the planet just in time to beam up Kirk et. al. The new bulb is inserted, and the Enterprise continues with its five year mission.
