If you're claiming the UK uses 110V, then you must also include that it uses 415V.

Both of these are only used outside domestic settings. (Until recently, 415V for a car charger is becoming more common)

110V is regularly used via transformers, generally for safety - 110V doesn't kick you as much as 240V. Perhaps I didn't emphasise that 110V is not grid delivered here.

I have a 110V transformer and a 110V rated SDS hammer drill. The idea is that if I manage to hit an electrical cable then I will probably not die, with luck.

We also have three phase which I think is normal in the US, for example and is why ethernet over power line is a bit fraught.
