It's mostly 240-252V here. Despite the EU. The Chinese don't understand this and

I'm getting 232V out at the moment. It does vary of course.

No, it's an oldish bungalow on the outskirts of a town.

How old ? By new build I imagined that they may actually have tapped the local
distribution transformer for 230V you see. Not that they did that here about 6 yrs back
when a new one went in.

If you find ANY *rubber* covered wiring get it replaced INSTANTLY. It's usually black
rubber. The grey PVC identical looking aside from colour T&E (twin and earth) is good
for yonks normally.
