less than £50! I'm getting someone certified to fit it"?

Me? I'm waiting for the consumer unit special ;-) Or a tidy saving off
a 10kV 3 phase "dropper box" transformer (for my next camping trip) :-p

Remember kiddies, Mr Prescott doesn't want you to install your electric
shower with proper cable to the CU and proper equi bonding.

Plug it into a 13A socket on the landing however...

Owain

Nah that will just blow the fuse - how boring!
You need to make the following*...

(Don't do this, it is a very very bad and unsafe thing to do, it is posted
merely for amusement purposes)

Take an 8 way extension lead
plug it into a socket in the kitchen (but don't turn it on - safety first!)
now make a cable with a 13A plug on each end
plug one end into the 8 way extension
plug the other end into a socket in your living room (but don't turn it on -
safety first!)
Now make another cable like the last one, plug one end into the 8 way
extension and the other end into a socket upstairs (but don't turn it on -
safety first!)
Now make another, plug one end into the 8 way extension, and the other into
another socket in the Kitchen (but don't turn it on - safety first!)
Now connect 4 separate cables to the shower, and terminate them all in a 13A
plug
plug them all into the 8 way extension lead
turn on all the sockets (kitchen, upstairs and living room, them you can use
the shower!

*If you have three phase in the house, you will probably kill yourself or
burn the house down faster than if you do not.

If you do this, then you are a mad fool who must be suicidal, and I take no
responsibility for you!!

You need to make the following*...

FFS that's an awful lot of work just to avoid blowing a fuse.

Just cut the plug off the shower flex and poke the cores into the socket
with matchsticks.

If you do that, it's better to use spent matches. Live ones might be
dangerous.

No - poke the ends into Prescott - much more satisfactory

Nobody uses matchsticks these days unless they're builoding the Eiffel
Tower. As it were.

Would a gas lighter work?

Plush fit plumbing?

Does this involve the furry dice that Drivel has in his Primus?

Not if you use safety matches ;-)
