Swiss 3 pin plug in a UK socket
Hello,
I have bought a coffee machine which has a 3 pin swiss plug. I have been looking for an adaptor to plug it into my uk plug socket but can't find one.
Is it possible to rewire the plug into a uk plug or would this be a bad idea? Alternatively, does anyone know where I might find an adaptor. I have a 'Swiss World Travel Adaptor' but this doesn't seem to fit.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Swisss mains frequency is listed as 50/60HZ so I dont know what effect it will have on the machine - just better to buy a cheap one from Argos.
