I was in B&Q last weekend looking for a shaver socket - well actually
it's for my electric tooth brush. Found one 240/110 volts but it had in
big print - not suitable for bathrooms ... eh? Where am I expected to
shave/clean my teeth ... anyone know the regs on this?


Means it's not got an isolating transformer - so cheaper. It would be
suitable for a room where bathroom regs don't apply - guest bedroom, etc.


Although it must have an autotransformer to manage 110v, so it seems
rather silly to cripple the product.
