As for our voltage - of course ours is superior - ask any Englishman - 240v 50Hz, not the insipid 110/60 some countries have

Absolutely, let's have some mains grunt, all 3kW a socket of it. 175 countries use real 240v mains, 39 wimps have the namby-pamby 110v; and some 53 countries use the robust, fused, British 13A mains plug.

- even our TV is better with many more lines of resolution,

And in 2008 we get 16:9, 1080p HD digital TV everywhere to say nothing of the advert free BBC1, 2, 3 and 4.

Then I could go in with how long it takes to boil a kettle, how much less copper we need to use in our power cables, the list could go on and on.
