Most UK 3 pin power plugs are fixed to the appliance cable at the factory. It is often possible to cut off the plug and adapt it to some other use, but it is better and safer to buy a new plug (which is fairly cheap) that is designed to be manually attached to a new cable.

This completely depends on whereabouts you live.
