humidity control and house fires

[John Ross]

Hi Michael,
I would venture to guess that this was a UK thing.
I remember, when I was over there, I bought an electric heater, the room I
was renting was cold.
I bought it, brought it back, went to plug it in, and lo and behold, no
plug.
I always thought it was a backward idea to have to buy a plug, because of
the non conformity, of the sockets. There seemed to be a lot of
experimenting with electrical stuff.
I will be surprised if anyone over here, ever ran into a similar thing.
Having said that, I have been proven wrong many times before.
Best regards,
