All of you in North America are used to having residential services where nothing is more than 120V to ground. Mr. Joe Have-A-Go could get shocked at 240V by grabbing both hot legs together, but he's more likely to get hit with 120V.
How do you like the idea of normal homes having 240V to ground as in Britain? Do you see it as a potential problem for the average householder? (Excuse the pun!)
