[QUOTE="oneofthedamned, post: 40034, member: 1704"] Morning, just got up and spent my obligatory time in the bathroom. Started thinking about the shaver socket. ([I]How sad is that?[/I] College has a lot to answer for.) The 240v side is, I know, separated from the supply via a transformer and therefore is not connected in anyway to earth so I can safely touch taps and radiators with wet hands without fear of electrocution. But what danger does it pose if it were to fall from my grasp and land in the water surely it still has 240v and if I were to inadvertently fish it out I would get a shock, or are we back to the bird on the wire scenario? Just a thought [/QUOTE]
