Do I take it that electric showers are a UK thing then?

I wish we didn't have them, never been in one that has been any good. My showers are fed from the hot water tank, and can't really understand why people would have an electric shower out of choice.

I know there are lots of safety measures in place, but there is something a little but wrong with standing under a stream of water that passes just a few mm away from a pretty hefty mains supply, you'd only get a belt for a very short period of time but I am sure it would still give a nasty nip to your shower!

Cheers
