not everyone is a clever nerd --------- i also do not know how to google a
group for previous discussions WOW...

Go to Google in the same old way, and click on Groups rather than Web.

Thanks to all who made a reply. I have traveled all over the world
maybe 50 plus countries and all 7 continents in all but have never
taken much in the way of electronics. However this trip will be a long
one and am renting a car so wanted some of MY stuff for company on the
trip.
Again thanks to all
Richard

Am going to UK this summer for about 2 months and will be taking Cell
phone, Laptop, CD player and have lighter plugs for the above. Got to
thinking they may not work in Uk cars since all the other electrical
stuff is different.
Also anyone know about network (RJ45) and telephone (RJ11) connection
in hotel/motels, are the same as US and if not are adapter available
at various electronic shops?

I think he may be suggesting that as the question has been previously
answered,
you perhaps should do a search of the archives before asking any question.
Oh well, lots dont know about the archives..so question asked!!

Only AC is different over there.

Your concern should be the possibility of getting to the lighter plug
physically
with your adapters, etc. You might want to carry a variety of flexible
(not
rigid) multi-way adapters, etc.

Also anyone know about network (RJ45) and telephone (RJ11) connection

CCITT standard connectors and circuits are the same everywhere. Those
aren't
US-only specifications.

Maybe he still thinks it's Lectrics By Lucas, Prince of Darkness in
British
cars. Positive Earth.

other than the Positive Earth the Prince of Darkness rules. Lucas
alternators
have lasted an average of 3 years on my otherwise problem free, almost 12
years
old English assembled Nissan Primera.

Nor do I - and judging by some of the information I've seen
relayed as having been found on Google, I still prefer
questioning people who have actual experience of the things
I ask about.

That may be true, but if you read this
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/travel/europe/faq/

there is no information that I can find. Time for Yves B to do an update?
