Here's a poser for ya'

It's nice to have someone hand you a proposed installation and have you make all the decisions on what you want to install. We do get the ones with the wording of Use that or what ever you think is better, but isn't it nicer to have "Discrimination is allowed" to tell you they trust you. :-)

Thankfully, it's not a gypsy site. It's a five star touring and static camper "resort". But the rest of the installation is pretty much the same as your proposal. Want a job? :-) lol

Or at least they know you are insured ;-)

LOL Yeah. That could be part of it as well. :-)

I thought the railways were all 110v?

No point doing the job, they will only nick the cable...

The Medway Handyman coughed up some electrons that declared:

Trains (well, Bombardier Electrostars) generally have 13A 240V sockets for the cleaning crew, so it makes sense if everything is the same voltage.

Shouldn't that be "discretion" is allowed?

Nah, the voltage had to be changed when First took over the franchise. Their corporate colour is blue :-)
