Why do houses have a switch to turn the shower off, either a cord on the
ceiling or a switch in the hall?
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.
