The trouble is America use 110v not 240v, so it probably isn't just as simple as using a plug adaptor. What's are you trying to plug in and does it have any information on it about what input voltage it requires(some devices will accept both 110 and 240 but you MUST confirm this, don't just plug it in and hope)?

It looks like it should fit but the easiest solution would just be to replace it with a BS head.
Also, as mentioned above make sure it's capable of accepting 240V or else things will go bang.

it does accept 240v, so I got this adapter after reviews said people used it for things like their mac book pro import etc. amongst various other electrical devices. The thing is the prongs just will not fit into the bloody thing so I'm wondering what the heck is wrong.

It says it accepts 240v so I don't need a step down converter but I do need an adapter, and the one I bought I thought for all intents and purposes would work but it doesn't! That's the problem.

Plug it into your kettle, just to confuse it.
