Bathroom project - Electrics

In the UK, you're not allowed to do your own house electrics - you are supposed to call in a professional, and you can't buy the bits in DIY shops any more.  They're less anal in France, and you can do your own work if necessary.

There wasn't much electrics to do in the bathroom.  I just replaced the existing sockets and light switches with new ones.  You don't need to have light switches operated by a pull cord (so the switch is away from any sources of water) and you can have standard electrical sockets on the wall, as long as they're not over the sink (or in the shower, or any other stupid place)

    How many frazzled French do you estimate there’ve been?

    In Spain the thing is a little relaxed, also. You can fry yourself quite cheaply if you wish.

    No idea how many French fried there have been, but surely fewer that are shot each year by hunters, or die from eating poisonous mushrooms.
