European double sockets

HI All


1) Does anyone know if a European double socket face plate fits a standard UK double socket back box?

2) I assume these will need extra deep back boxes if they do?

3) I am getting sent over to Germany (Berlin) soon to do some office type electrical install work because it seems that all of the trades are off on holiday or something? Does anyone on the forum know if the trades all go off in Germany soon or if perhaps this is a local supply problem where all of the German staff for their usual electrical installer company are off on holiday. It is interesting that they cannot get local companies to do the office fit out and they're definitely paying us over the odds to do the work instead; this is a multinational company that we often do work for and the purchase order is from our usual lot here in the UK, so no worries with payment. 

4) Will the wholesalers sell anything to anyone?


Kind Regards


Tatty
