Why do houses have a switch to turn the shower off, either a cord on

Can't be for safety - if you're in the shower and get a shock, if
you've managed to get out to reach the switch, you've got away from
it anyway.

Can't be to isolate to work on it, there's a fusebox for that.

Don't need to turn it off when you're finished showering, there's a
switch on the shower itself.

If I answer this, do you promise to **** off?

It's so somebody not in the shower can isolate it quickly before
helping the poor bugger who is being electrocuted.

I smell JWS has nym shifted again.

Indeed, he has. And, as you can see from the post he made at the same
time as you, answering one inane question just gives him scope to ask a
lot of even sillier ones.

No, I just want the answer to my original question. If the answer isn't sensible, I'll respond in a discussion. Welcome to newsgroups, you'll get used to the idea one day.
