Wow! No earth. In the UK we have to have an Earth...mind you our supply
is 240V. What's to stop everything floating to some horrible potential?
or do you have some control on the neutral? Do you call it neutral?

Actually, I read somewhere the UK line supply is being dropped to 230V
plus and minus some tolerance to cover the suppliers butts. Should make
UK stuff more compatible with the rest of Europe. 

I remember when I moved house, I found that the supply was consistently
lower than my previous abode. This played havoc with my first
polysynth, I had to lower the output voltages on the psu to cope with
the fall in transformer output. And then retune 16 CEM vco's...
