There is a plug socket about an inch from our kitchen sink! I once splashed a sink full of water in it! When I grow up...I want a bathroom with a TV fitted into the wall, so I can watch the soaps while I lather up!

we could always run an extention lead in to the bathroom and use a portable on th edge of bath .you could plug your hair drier in as well and a radio or electric fire,and eat some of those hash cakes and drift away baby ,ill come and join you ,we could have a great afternoon ,fancy it

Do you know Rumrunner I did do that once.

I got a little stool put it next to the bath and put the tv on it and ran the extention cable out into the hall. It was bliss.

I don't have the recipe for hash cakes though.

Now that I have joined this forum, I am going to endeavour to make more sensible electrical decisions.

Theres no need to be so formal ,Rum or Mr Rumrunner ,will do,you dont need much of a recipe for hash cakes,make a cake mix ,preferably quite sweet with freash cream,add copious amounts of hashish ,bake and lay back,listen to a bit of trippy ,driting music and relax ,easy ,you will be an expert in no time .incidently its how some women give birth in some countrys.have fun

Hmmm. Not such a bad idea methinks. When we went to pre-natal classes it amazed me the number of women who wanted a natural birth surrounded by handmaidens sprinking rose petals, a harpist and whalesong to make it a lovely, soothing experience. When the time came they were no doubt screaming for drugs like everyone else! Thankfully my wife isn't so daft, and was planning on maxing out on whatever they would give her (general anaesthetic in both cases ), but I'm sure she'd go along with the hash cakes idea!
