Bathroom wall light switch

[Engineer54]

You have been out of the UK far too long Eng, lol, I bet your attitude would be much different regarding this matter.?

Well you could say that working overseas for a good many years now, opens one's eyes to the draconian regulations the UK has on bathroom installations.

in other parts of the world they use IP rated switches and sockets in the bathroom, is quite usual for washing machines to be in the bathrooms,

Nope I'm not one of those, I'm a 40 year whizzer.

I wasn't referring to anyone in particular by that statement, just to the fact that it is getting more probable these days that it will be a electrical trainee or 17 day whizzer that will be working on a domestic bathroom!! lol!!

Ok I know I'm just being silly but, just think, what if you have a pull switch cord dangling into a bath? Isn't that just ad dangerous as a wall switch in a bathroom? lol
