Is This Safe or Dangerous?

I'd fill the bath with deionised water just to be safe.

Ned no! You want dehydrated water, you don't want those pesky explosive hydrogen atoms floating about if your electrics are dodgy, that's how fires start

wrong. you need "heavy water". you float better and a good fart could make a nuke bomb.

Ok Dean,I just can't see the thought process in thinking than an electrician would come in to the property and do something to make the electrical installation more dangerous - didn't anyone think to ask him what the new cable was all about ?

Im guessing Millenials, rollyeyes.

Dehydrated water, is that what they use to make dry white wine?

NO NO NO!
You need to start with wet white wine!
Then you dry it...
SHEESH!

No, you start with red wine, put it through the washing machine to remove the stains, THEN you dry it, god you know nothing!

The landlord is totally ruthless, cuts corners and avoids repairs at all costs. We made no judgement on the electrician. We only discovered the new green cable in the bathroom after he'd left so didn't ask, plus, we still know nothing about electrics and would have been none the wiser had he drawn diagrams for us.

No problem Dean, I think the electrician should have at least found one of you before leaving and explained what the new earth cable was for - not essential to give a technical explanation but just some reassurance that it was a precautionary safety measure in order to comply with the regulations. It was never my intention to try and make you look silly or cause any offence.

No offence taken. Three smelly blokes was enough for me to risk shame, ridicule and being referred to as a 'millenial' to check it was safe

I unfortunately fall under the millennial banner aged 33 and I can vehemently express that I do not share their traits. Anyone born from 95’ onwards should be given that burden

As above, no shame in asking if you don't know. Nobody knows everything.
