Well, to be honest, yes I can. First of all, that's true of any switch
in a room with a basin or sink (like a kitchen, or a utility room), but
mainly I don't subscribe to the "remove every tiny weeny bit of risk
from life" view - IMHO, it's what has allowed Part P into our lives.

Maybe it's because I have childhood memories of getting a shock from a light
switch in my parents' kitchen.

Everyone is entitled to their own view. I'm not wishing to criticise
you at all - but if you bought my house, I'm afraid you'd have to move
the bathroom light switches :-)
