How to install USA sockets legally

[Litttle Shonet]

provide a hairdryer for their guests which works on a proper voltage

By this I suppose you mean a 'mans Voltage', not some wussy american toy voltage.

LOL

Not only do American bases use American plugs and sockets, but they are also used in their personnel quarters, which are frequently off base.
There are a number of little villages in dotted round East Anglia which are built to look like American villages.
I've also worked on a Hilton hotel which had a single American 110V socket in each room. Unfortunately I can't recall any details about the power supplies, other than that one unit supplied two rooms.

As i said, the Yanks can't operate without bringing America with them!! lol!! Probably got a special dispensation for these off base villages, they seem to be able to dictate whatever they want to the British Government. Be interesting to know who paid for the distribution TX's supplying these off base villages though?? lol!!!

I can understand Hotels and such providing 115V outlets in rooms/suites, saves them issuing converter units, which many probably went missing at an alarming rate....lol!!
