Well anyone ever been appalled by the standard

most British tourists have not been electrocuted.


Why are they any more likely to get electrocuted
than the locals ? Or are you claiming that the locals
never use showers and only pom tourists ever do ?

lead with a main plug on each end

He doesn't know much about electricity but his mate wired it to "code".

He uses a shop vac to start his generator by introducing a vacuum in the
pipe which is then maintained allowing water to flow faster than it
would with just a simple syphon arrangement.

I cannot see how that 'Jesus" lead from the inverter to the socket could
possibly be code.
