The UK electrical system is 240 V. The US is only 120 V. If you
plug a device into 240V that was only designed for 120V you get a wonderful shower of sparks and a blown circuit breaker. As a result, we have had to purchase many new items upon our arrival in the UK, as shown above.
Fortunately, many high tech gadgets, such as laptops, PDAs and the iPod all work fine with 240V.

Can't you drink the water over there either? The water here is really good - at least you don't see anything in it when it's in a glass or bottle!
