No European countries run on 230V to the best of my knowledge.


British mains electricity used to be 240V, until the EU spit!
'harmonised' the level across EUrope to 230V. Unless of course, you
know better....


I do. The UK is still 240. They didn't change the voltage, only what
they said the voltage was. Its a Yes-Minister one.


The mains here has come down a little, it used to average around 247 before
"harmonisation", it's now averages 243. During sh**/shave/shower time it
drops marginally under 240, and again during evening meal time.
