Actually everybody up to now is wrong.
The voltage in the UK varies between 220 & 250 volts depending on the time of day and demand and is not constant.
However is is commonly reffered to as 240 Volts.
And for Lou K's information, its not the voltage that kills you, its the current, so 110 volts is just as dangerous as 240 ..

It used to be between 240 and 220 volts but a number of years ago it was reduced to an average of 220 volts. This fits in much better with the European average of 220 volts. It also means that manufactures can produce a standard product covering a much wider market and therefore the price of the electrical equipment will be reduced. In addition the 220 volts is often reduced during periods of high demand to ensure an electrical supply.

Actually its 220 Volts, while in the states its 110v which is way they have to bring those special addaptors while on holiday. It is also why the British plug has three prongs because our voltage is so high we need a earth prong, because at 220 it could kill, as opposed to the 110 which would just jolt.

The mains house voltage in the uk is 250. If you have a lower power you might get your pc to work....Any higher and you will blow the lot.
