My parents got one of those in 1970, for washing the dog. The package
said "fits all faucets" which should be "fits all faucets except for
those it doesn't fit". It didn't fit ours.

I think it's easier too, because you run one cable along the ceilings
and the other underneath the rooms.

Not nice to scold someone who has just been electrocuted in the shower,
you should be scolding the one who perpetrated that abortion.

Spanking someone when they're all wet is more fun.

Spanking isnt scolding, stupid.

Scolding doesn't have to mean high temperature, it can also mean
punishing.* And spanking is used as a punishment.

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

Buy a GTL/GIF LiIon battery, tell me how long it lasts. You can tell right away it's a fake, as nobody has actually ever made a LiIon AA that has more than 850mAh, yet this Chinese firm is making them with 2500 stamped on the side, they're outright liars.

Now buy a Chinese £1.99 battery charger. After the tenth use it will crumble as you pull it out of the socket.

How odd that they invented what you are using.

Most things were invented in Scotland.

computers weren't, aircraft weren't, trains weren't.

And nothing even remotely like most things anyway.

else.

They make damn good stuff.

That's not invented.

If they can make stuff well, those companies must come up with good

Improvements arent inventions, stupid.

We have different words for a reason.

Panasonic is Japanese. Honda is Japanese.

Neither of those have invented anything much.

China makes stuff that falls apart in 2 days.

My iphones havent.

Perhaps just using their workers is ok, and it's their designers that
are
incompetant.

Nope, plenty of what they have designed works fine.

Try going to Ebay and buying some electronics from there.

Been there, done that, plenty of it works fine as you can see from Big
Clive's teardowns.

Now buy a Chinese £1.99 battery charger. After the tenth use it will
crumble as you pull it out of the socket.

None of mine have.

They don't in fact have 230V GPOs in the kitchen
