Phillip, <The uk power supply is also never exactly 240 volts, we checked a volt meter at work the other day and got 245 volts. It wouldn't suprise me if at some times of the day it drops to 235 as well.> Same thing is true on this side of the pond (at least here, in northern California), though the numbers are different…:) That's one of the reasons I got a line conditioner for my A1000 many years ago, and have my A2000/040 hooked up to a UPS. Not only does it protect me from surges and spikes and uneven electrical current, but it also gives me up to 20 minutes after the power is out completely, to gracefully close down my system.
