just been putting some of the finishing touches to the bathroom at the flat where my girlfriend and i live, and having removed the side panel on the bath so we can decide whether it will be me or a professional plumber fitting the new mixer tap i have discovered what is most definitely a live (have VERY carefully tested it) double socket on the exterior wall next to the outlet for the bath and also the tap and obviously the pipes feeding the bath. at least this explains the massive amount of sealant that was used at that end of the panel!

will post photos in a minute but i'm seriously concerned about this situation. my better half is not worried at all. anyone got any advice? sensible please.. obviously not washing is a given and i can live with that and am (if i'm honest) feeling pretty lucky to have avoided electrocution until now.

need to get this sorted asap as i'm moving out in a few days to make room for my girlfriend's dad who will be over here for a month!

so much for finishing touches!!!
