This is much more interesting. Bild published a picture of a boxing event where allegedly a reader captured just the right moment when the referree ended the match. They probably didn't notice that it didn't take a good sense of timing to get that picture, just a video recorder: There's a faint station logo in the top left corner of the picture...
In 1995, Europe has switched to a unified 230V standard with a tolerance of -6% to +10% (216V to 253V) and later +-10%. Since all previous voltages fall into the tolerance range, not much has changed as far as actual voltages go (220V in Germany, 240V in the UK), but devices are built to the 230V standard now.
