Never mind in hotel rooms, for a time we had coin operated electrical and gas 
meters too in our flats and homes.

  I think, in the U.S. now a days, the connection between the electrical
  ground and water system is no longer used. I was under the imression that
  the electrical safety ground should be tied only to the ground
  rod that's directly below the meter box.

  What I remember being very surprised at when we visited england in 1973, was
  the light wire they could use in appliance cords. Gaads I saw lamps wired
  with what I'd call bell wire. Of course the current requirements being half
  of what is usual here made the difference.

  I don't remember switches at outlets but may have forgotten. Except for the 
  coin operated meters in cheap hotel rooms that is.
