Now you are going to ask me why the uk is not on that system aren't you ?
Well, I think its a question of £ÃÆ ’‚£Ãà¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒââ‚ ¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€š £ÂÃâ €šÃ‚£Ãƒâ€šÃ‚à ƒâ€šÃ‚£ÃƒÆ’‚ £ÃƒÆ’‚£Ã ƒâ€šÃ‚£ amongst other things, which I won't go into here

Well, I would be most interested, but instead I will point out that it's 220 Volts on the continent. Or 230, actually, as the UK and Europe decided to converge on that, rather than having 220 and 240.
Still, a contintal plug can be plugged in either way, at 230 volts or so...
