Man, I'm going to make a list of all these stuff, bring a bunch of it over and start my own business. hahaha

We are going to end up moving with a 20' cargo container so, I may pack it full of A.) Extension cords  B.) Jeans   C.) Mountain Dew    D.) Ranch Dressing

I can make a fortune off of selling it all. hahaha
Don't forget guldens mustard and everything from trader joe's

If you're using a US (120-volt) surge protector, it should only be used AFTER the voltage has been dropped by the transformer (otherwise it will see the higher UK voltage as a surge and block the current).

Yeah. I'm actually not quite dumb enough to put a US surge protector in on UK current.  ;) ;)  The ones I used were on the outflow side of the transformer. And it blew my house fuses several times. NO clue why.

Ah. THIS would be the reason why. https://www.gson.org/stepdown/
