Why do houses have a switch to turn the shower off, either a cord on the ceiling or a switch in the hall?

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.

It's so somebody not in the shower can isolate it quickly before helping
the poor bugger who is being electrocuted.

And how many times has this ever actually happened?

And why are we therefore not forbidden to have showers when nobody else is home?

And why can't they make showers which are guaranteed not to electrocute you?

And why can't the other person just switch the shower off on its own switch?

?

Trust it to do what? When it's switched off, you're not in the shower. When you're working inside the shower, you've turned it off in the fusebox.

on switches, but not the shower itself. The only place I saw such a shower
was on my boat and it's a 12V pump.

the water, or does it turn off electricity (such as for a light in the

Commonplace in the UK. Circuit from fusebox feeds switch on bathroom ceiling or in the hall. This feeds the 8kW (ish) electrically heated shower. The switch disconnects the heater in the shower (pointlessly as the shower has it's own controls). It would be like turning off your microwave oven at the wall every time you'd finished cooking.

Strange. We just have central water heaters and pressurized plumbing.
The water heater is required to be bonded and there is enough metal
surface area to bond the water.
No switching devices or receptacles are allowed in the shower space
and any lights are required to be 8 feet up with a water resistant
"shower trim".

We tend to have gas powered boilers that heat the water for sinks and the radiators. But for some reason not the shower - no idea why as they're a similar power rating.

The switch in the hall is so you can enforce electricity consumption limits with teenagers.

Or laugh when you make a woman scream because the water goes chilly.

But there's a switch or fuse in the fusebox you can use for both of those things.

What we in the US have to understand is the British seem to put a switch
on everything.

My son lives in London, and in his flat (aka apartment) even the regular
wall outlets each have a switch, right in the same housing.

Also most water heaters are electric, and are the on-demand type,
located in the bathroom (aka "the loo")

Those are for convenience. I can switch something off without having to unplug it. And before you say "use the switch on the device" there might not be one, or the device might be out of reach or further away.

Only for the shower. The taps are heated by the central boiler which also heats the radiators.

Why do houses have a switch to turn the shower off,
either a cord on the ceiling or a switch in the hall?

Because that's how your stupid regulatory
authoritys decided it must be done.

Can't be for safety

Fraid so.

- 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.

Its done like that for the other situation, so you
don't get out of the shower dripping wet and use
the switch dripping wet and get a shock that way.

Can't be to isolate to work on it, there's a fusebox for that.

Correct.

Don't need to turn it off when you're finished
showering, there's a switch on the shower itself.

But that's one that can be safely used dripping wet.

When was the last time a policeman inspected this?

The police don't inspect receptacles, that's usually the medical examiner's job.

That is NOT a receptacle! It's an exit passage only!

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.

And how many times has this ever actually happened?

Irrelevant.

And why are we therefore not forbidden to have showers when nobody else is
home?

Because that's not practical.

And why can't they make showers which are guaranteed not to electrocute
you?

They do.

And why can't the other person just switch the shower off on its own
switch?

Because, if the person in the shower has just
got electrocuted, they would be too, stupid.
