   Of course, I wasn't thinking, the world is now such a localised place   
   because of the Internet.   
      
   I'm in the UK where we use a standardised 13A fused plug which is usually   
   connected to a 230 volt 30A ring main for ordinary household appliances,   
   with obviously heavier feeds for things like kitchen appliances such as   
   electric cookers and maybe bathroom 12KW electric showers, how do they   
   manage stuff like that stateside?
