Are Electrical Bidet Installations Illegal in Most UK Bathrooms?

I was hearing about bidets being possibly cheaper and more hygenic, and I was looking into installing one. They need a mains supply, and a fused outlet plate. Is it just not possible in this country?

  • Izal medicated paper was a requirement of the environment of the damper outside loo, (well that or the sections from the sports pages from the Hull Daily Mail for emergencies on the back of the door)


    Experiments in the early 1970s when we visited my grand parents,  (my parents house having an indoor one, my grandparents requiring you to go outside and sort of back in again - that 1930 compromise of the attached outside loo)  found that the damp of the early morning would ruin a roll of the soft stuff, and you had to take it back into the house last thing at night for it to remain dry enough to be serviceable.

    Problem is you them had to remember to take it with you  on the first serious trip out next day, or you were back on the emergency newsprint...

    The other problem with the soft stuff is the  puppy running off so the roll is empty when you need it.  (Hamlet advert shows the issue)


    PS the front of the Hull Daily Mail you take with you to the chipshop, as they gave you some extra 'scraps' if you brought your own paper, and the rest goes for lighting the fire. I think some folk even used to read it as well.
