232 when I last did it.

It will vary with location and load. Its usually about 237V here. The
various suppliers will aim to deliver to the majority of properties at
about 240V. Obviously that can mean in practice that the house nearest
the substation is getting close to 250 and the one at the far end of a
LV cable can be quite a bit lower.

We are 50m from a substation & get 252 on average.

100m and 240 to 242v

Next door to the substation and 232V

About 100m from substation.
242V this morning, which is typical.
Have seen it as low as 239V, but only rarely.
