The EU voltage "harmonisation" was mostly a paper exercise.
The only real effect I observed is that dodgy British power distribution
companies can sweat their assets more and let the voltage sag further in the
extremeties of their network than they were previously allowed.
Your internal wiring can reduce the voltage further. I had one place where
there was over an ohm in the way, and firing up a 13A device brought the mains
down to about 210v. I shudder to think where the I^2R heat went.
But it saved you gas for the central heating :-)
