People were hard in the 70's. My mum always stuck two copper pieces into a plug to work her hairdryer whilst having a bath every morning. Never did her any harm. My dad enjoyed that smooth blend of cigarette with asbestos tip for additional flavour. Bless them!!!

@sambda Ah yes i remember those days well. I also remember the large number of people who got electrocuted every year putting plugs onto the fairy tree lights and lighting themselves up instead of the tree.

@Time71Team Yes, that was always the problem on Xmas Day in the 70s. None of the toys came with either plugs or batteries, both of which, for some unfathomable reason, were not allowed. So at 9am on Xmas Day, there were plugs being ripped off hairdryers and toasters, and batteries pinched from Uncle Len's hearing aid.

@surbon514 My brother got zapped by 220V while doing some work in the kitchen. It knocked him a few feet away, and he felt very strange afterwards for an hour or so, but he was otherwise OK.
While America has the lower voltage, it generally means more current has to be carried. Wires heat up more, and there are more fires from that point of view.
