10-11pm.. i thought it was more like 1am?
It maybe different times in different areas, as the storage heaters in my dad's house come on at 11:30pm to 6:30 am. (In Bexley, Kent)
Not always. A large housing estate near Llanelli had Off Peak storage heaters fitted. All had TeleSwitches with the same On time.
Several hundred night storage heaters coming on all at exactly the same time.
The transformers at the substations were known to shudder and lighting noticably dimmed.
I expect by now that situation has been resolved.
Not these days - Teleswitches all pop it at once. I guess there could be regional differences, but I am fairly sure there are not.
Not seen a clock go in from new for a LONG time!
There was talk of a random delay being built into TeleSwitches so that although they were all commanded at the same time the actual switch action occured a few seconds or even minutes after the command was recieved.
<<drat>> John got in first. his delay was shorter than mine

Not heard of that, although I know the switch can alter from night to night occasionally.
It would make sence.
