WHAT is hardwired?
s/What hewaters/Water heaters/. tony's typing is not always everything
it could be. On that point I have been cutting him slack; typos like
his don't bother me nearly as much as word-choice sloppiness (cf the
pernicious "lo(o)se"). In this particular case, it was even more
confusing than usual; I found it helpful to note that he was replying
to a line of mine with a list of devices that included water heaters.
regualtions
prohibit any socket outlets in a 'room containing a
fixed bath or shower'.
Is a "fixed" bath or shower one that has been
repaired?
Or, as with a "fixed disk", using the veterinary meaning?
As in "not portable", I would hazard to guess. Support for portable
bathing borders on nonexistent in my (North American) experience, short
of camping equipment and the like, but it would not surprise me if
Europe (in the geological sense) had far more remnants of the days when
a bath was often, even usually, taken in a portable tub which got
carried around as needed.
Several peoples divided by a common language.
_So_ true.
