But they have 115 and 230V in the same house.
It's a centre tapped 230V. Bit of a ****ing mess,
but thy can get a decent voltage when needed.

Not practical to do electric showers that way.

That's also the reason they don't use electric jugs
either, not practical to run them on 230V.

Why not?

They don't in fact have 230V GPOs in the kitchen
you can plug the kettle into. What 230V appliances
they do have are mostly hard wired with stuff like
driers in the laundry etc.

Which is bloody stupid, not having 240V sockets around.

They're lucky they don't still use DC, as promoted by Edison. "AC
will
kill you!"

They are quite a backward community.

How odd that they invented what you are using.

Most things were invented in Scotland.

BULL****. The steam engine wasn't, cars weren't,
computers weren't, aircraft weren't, trains weren't.

I count about 175 that we

None of those matter as much as the ones I listed.

And smoking your wacky weed too.

Wasn't that Columbia?

Nope.

They're famous for it.

Nope.
