Yes but you need to allow for the wind direction. If the wind is against the radio signal the pips will inevitably be slightly delayed. This was predicted by Einstein in his Theory of Special Relativity, and later verified by the famous Dogg, Biskett, and Münch experimental series, which involved three radios, a weathervane, and Biskett's dad's stop watch that he nicked when he'd been an army referee.

But records only go back 50 years.
So you cant say what the voltage was in - say - the stone age.
Me? Nothing. But there's nothing to stop someone from plugging two 3 kW heaters in. I agree with you that it's unlikely.
Have you ever encountered caterers? They don't understand the laws of physics, or electrics, and are quite content to plug in half a dozen tea urns, water boilers, at 2+KW each and then moan about the crappy electrics. I've experienced them on outside events too many times to count.
There's nothing to stop someone plugging a 13 amp load into every socket in the house.
Except, perhaps, the maximum load the feeder into the house can supply.
So I assume those who continually come up with a 'what if' as regards final ring circuits and just how horrible they are have taken this into account? And limited the number of sockets in their house to about 7?

Yes. so you say, but analysis of just one pre cambrian battery pack discovered at the University of East Anglia suggests otherwise.
its deniers like you who give electricity a bad name.
Don't buy a cheap one, you will regret it. Also avoid really cheap crimps.
It's remarkable how many don't know that.

It's the reason why we are still using 240v tungsten filament lamps in the UK (and, doubtless, the same reason they're still using 220v tungsten filament lamps in most of Europe).
Such incandescent filament lamps are extremely sensitive to variations in supply voltage in regard to their luminous efficacy and lifetime hours rating.
230v are political volts, not real volts
