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.

Sounds like a "widowmaker"shower in some backwater. Those things are
illegal for good reason in most "civilized" or "developed" countries,
as well as in the USA.

It's illegal to have an electric shower in the USA? I doubt it.

She's talking about the suicide shower head in Big Clive's video.

That link isn't in this part of the thread.

That was clearly a comment to you.
