Subject: SV: [AN1x-list] an1x construction.

When I moved to Norway I was puzzled by the fact tha tone couldn't buy the range of electrician supplies (or plumbing for that matter) that you can in the US. I have spent a lot of time in Amsterdam and Utrecht (lived there for a few months..I love that town!) and I think it is the same there.

For one thing I think they want to discourage overloading. You ever see National Lampoons Christmas vacation? Lots of homes in the US have adapters with LOTS of plugs hanging from them. They are a fire hazard and if people use them they ought to check the rating in amps for the circuit they are plugged into.

That's why they do it here anyway.
