also +1, I carry a UK adapter too, as well as 2 different EU ones. BE SURE if you buy a UK plug adapter that you get the kind with a metal grounding pin (the long middle one, called by Brits, the "earthing" pin). The cheap kind has a plastic middle pin that breaks off easily, rendering the adapter useless.
