Admiralty Flag posted:Is it true that all English bathrooms have light switches outside the bathroom? Every one I've ever been in it's on the outside. Is it because of fear of electrocution? If you have one inside it’s usually a pull cord rather than a switch. I appreciate the massive and soul destroying effort it takes the average American to remember such a complicated system, but it’s pretty easy to sheet your bathroom floor in copper and run some live current into the bathroom if your sense of freedom is threatened by not having the possibility of random electrocution when you’re in the bathroom.

It's more hygienic. The top part of the string is for people who wash their hands, the bottom part is for people who don't.

I think the "light switch outside" for Britain is from the times when electrical wires and switches were largely uninsulated and then it just became habitual or baked into the code.

op have you not even heard the phrase "redder than a british pigeon"? a lot of people think it refers to pigeons being boiled alive in the hot water tanks in peoples attics, but actually it refers to when pigeons would make it into the bathroom in the old copper floor days and fry themselves to death on the light switch. electricity is super effective against pigeons u see.

I had to renovate this old rear end house I moved into in the UK, the nice men who did the plumbing put a combi-boiler in the attic but there's still a big tub partially filled with water up there that I don't want to have to deal with.

Wait, if they think all hot water is theoretically contaminated do they just take cold baths/showers or is the dead rat water totally cool to bathe in?
