Quick OT: UK People, what do your plugs look like?

[DanDombrowski]

Headed out for my 2 week european vacation on saturday. I got my 240V to 120V converter with the two small round holes, but I've recently been told that England uses a triple rectangular spade type connector. Funny, the guy at Radioshack mentioned nothing of this.

Do I need to get a plug converter for my power converter?

Apologies for the blurry socket.

Awesome. Perfect, thank you. Gotta run to radio shack and pick one of those up.

Thanks again!
