You can get "International Adapters" from most electrical stores if you ask the guy at the counter (They're usually in the back somewhere not on display)

Do A1000s have EClock jumpers?  If so, you need to change it.  If not....

hI , you have to use a stepdown transformer this will allow you to use the 1000 or any other amiga with a 110 volt power supply  failing this you have to replace the current powersupply with a 240 volt one, a tad expensive but it works.

The A1000 chips are NTSC(US) or PAL(EU), not switchable, you will need a TV that can display NTSC, which isnt a major problem I wouldnt think now.
Also as the other people said, a mains dropper from 220-240 50Hz to 110V 60Hz. Maplins sells them cheap in the UK.
