FCU in bathroom

[John Rumm]

Shavers go into a transformer isolated shaver socket...

If you want to dry your hair, then go somewhere other than the bathroom ;-)

[Andrew May]

Isn't a bathroom about the only area that is still notifiable under Part P?

[spuorgelgoog]

Not /very/ often, no, but more often than I get poisonous spiders.

Or fit a suitably large isolating transformer? Wonder what the regs would make of that. ;-)

[Roger Mills]

Almost. I always take my own fridge (electric cool box) in order to keep milk and other perishables in the room.

[John Williamson]

I've been booked into hotels in France where I know that I need to take an air bed with me, because the supplied mattresses are soft foam about an inch thick. I hate sleeping on the bed base, and even borrowing the mattress off the other bed in the room is no help.

Apart from the minor little blips upwards since 2008 in both domestic and non-domestic fatalities shown in DCLG's assessment of Part P in December 2012 ;)

[John Rumm]

As predicted here IIRC ;-)

I would have no problem with installing a normal switched fused spur outside the zones.

[jgh]

What, and give them an excuse to lock themselves in there *even*

*longer*?

Women obviously don't have bladders and so don't realise that other people do have, that's the only explanation I can think of.

Yes, I usually manage to figure out most of the new to me acronyms by the context (context is everything and if that's not enough, GIYF[1]).

In this case I had to resort to google to figure it out.

[1] Not to be confused with the acronym "GIYF!" where the pling changes everything bar the word 'google'. :-)

[Mike Barnes]

Alternatively, JFGI.

I very much doubt that electrical deaths in bathrooms are much higher in Australia than UK even allowing that we have power points in most bathrooms.

[Dave W]

Now can you provide a similar list for "de hum"? These people who talk in code will not get help from anyone who doesn't know what it means.

[Huge]

Do we really want help from anyone too stupid to work it out from context?

[Tim Streater]

Shouldn't take more than 1.85 secs to decode "de hum", with "bathroom" as the prime clue.

[philipuk]

Well... At least in the UK you are still allowed to do some D-I-Y leccy work.

I think in most of the world if you do something stupid and hurt yourself then that is down to you being stupid. In the UK the "Something must be done about it" brigade / Nanny state means you must be protected from yourself.

[dennis]

Its code for extractor fan isn't it?

[Johny B Good]

Nah, that's just too obvious. I prefer the more 'subtle' approach. It makes the advicee exercise their 'thinking muscle', thereby reducing the 'flab' in this body part. You'd only end up 'spoon feeding' the 'victim'...er advicee.

[Johny B Good]

I figured that out easily enough even though that's a contraction I've never come across before.

It just struck me as being a 'half assed' attempt at laziness in the avoidabce of typing it out in full. So lazy in fact, that he failed to use the equally obscure, but more succint "DH" acronym which would have shaved off even more energy and effort.

Obviously, the OP is no 'expert in laziness' and made the usual 'rookie mistake'. :-)
