At last - perhaps only in Switzerland - someone has actually realised that travellers need to plug in electrical gadgets from ALL over the world not just ones from your own country. Having a visitor from Australia who can use the adaptor in the UK. My wife's hair dryer failed in Asia and having bought a local replacement we found that our existing adaptor wouldn't work as we moved on to other countries and we had to buy an assortment of other bits and pieces to make it work. I now have this wonderful adaptor [the mk.2 version] which also has a USB connector on top.
