That sounds almost as bad as what we have to deal with in the US! I live in an early 20th century apartment in San Francisco and I quickly learned not to run my 1.8kW kettle at the same time as my 1.2kW microwave as it would consistently trip the power. More annoying is when the fridge compressor motor starts up while running either as that also trips the power.
