    Uh, am I missing something or does that “shaver” outlet have an option for a 230V shaver? If so and even though I do not have a beard per se, I really want one of those shavers. Might be good to fine trim the hedges with or scare the heck out of the poodle.

    If they can come up with a washer and dryer combo unit, you would think by now someone would invent a washer/dryer that also can be used as a dishwasher since it's basically the same thing. I love your tiles.

    Except for the spin cycle!

    Many RVs have combo washer/dryers... though the capacity is minuscule. "Got one sock done, now I can start the other!!" :D

    They did some time ago and it was a remarkable success. It was called the “wash tub”. The later innovation of the “wash board” made the wash tub even better but granddads all over the world kept stealing them and making musical instruments out of them. :)

    @Yvonne Smith , hid her washboard so she wouldn't have to use it. Now she can't find it. But she did find her frying pan.

    :p

    And it doesn't even need an electrical socket. She can socket to him without one. :D

    Sorry, Bobby... but that washboard doesn't come with a combo dryer. You still have to walk out to the high-tech clothesline. :D

    With regards British bathrooms. The shaver socket has an isolation transformer supplied by the mains supply but its output has no earth connection. You touch the live output with one hand and the tap with the other, no flow, no shock.
    Earth protection has been improved with the advent of the RCBO, circuit breakers that trip before you feel the shock. Expensive to change the circuit board but how much is your life worth.
