Why are most shaver sockets dual voltage?

[Fitz]

Gulp. that's a bit extreme! And a little inconsistent? surely castration removes primary sexual organs not secondary...

Acually I don't think it's quite that black and white is it? Testosterone is classicly associated with aggression.

Sorry for being dumb. Do you mean a 'man' _should_ be able to kill a chicken? I don't think you do, but I'm just clarifying.

Fair enough.

Aha! A frame of reference I can associate with. ;-) This sort of clears it up really. As you say breasts vary in size, shape and appearance and there will be extremes of preference among us chaps. The beard thing is similar in your case you like lots of beard. But... the comment above suggests that the functinoality of breasts is important in their use as secondary sexual characteristics whereas in reality if one's beloved is lactating they tend be sore, heavy and you generally don't go near them!

It is but you pressed the point.

Indeed. But not inconsistent. They areboth sex characteristics.

And men, young ones especially, usually have a great amount of it sloshing around. It can vary in men too, you can almost smell it on re-enactment battlefields!

No. I wouldn't have even thought about the example. Chicken killing is a necessity if you're hungry and there's nothing else available, or the hen has gone out of lay and is eating expensive grain, or the chicken is a superfluous cockerel which need staking out because you don't need all that many. Chicken killing is done by whoever decides to do it, you don't need a beard to do that.

That's not their function.

That's a bonus, in both cases. It's not a prime function, just an effect.

Eh?

Not for long.

They're not for you anyway.

Sorry, chaps!

I've always wondered this.

Only GB does this (for household installations anyway), go around the rest of the world and you will just find one voltage on the shaver socket.
