Works perfectly. We use one Rosbif for the breadmaker... upside down works perfectly... the socket was mounted too near the work surface to plug a sealed-plug UK appliance in! Tim is in the grange at the moment, searching boxes for a 4-socket UK extension to mount up in our <i>cellier</i> for use with other UK appliances... given the number of boxes we haven't unpacked yet, he may be some time...<br />In the new conversion, we do have double sockets... but we asked for them. Where we didn't ask we got singles!Pollygarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519711639714303756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-24970593488963689872011-11-28T10:20:05.196+01:002011-11-28T10:20:05.196+01:00Henri, being an ex electrical engineer I have chan...Henri, being an ex electrical engineer I have changed all the plug tops I can BUT items such as chargers with transformers/electronics built in still need a converter..

My amusement is that the power points are not behind a hob. Our experience of gites has been that they are often sited there so you have to reach over hot pans to plug in a kettle or mixer. C & E have just done their kitchen and that mixer is on a flat surface probably with the plug out!Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-4496135630809658802011-11-28T09:57:18.798+01:002011-11-28T09:57:18.798+01:00I love that cryptic symbol of Brit living in Franc...I love that cryptic symbol of Brit living in France: two single (why never a double in France?)
