Are Electrical Bidet Installations Illegal in Most UK Bathrooms?

Actually, I have never heard a bad review of a Biobidet.


One of my elderly lady customers who has serious surgery was told she was just wasting her money buying one, she actually says it’s wonderful.


They are no different to a macerator as regards electrical installation. The job on Thursday has a vertical body dryer as well as the Biobidet and lots of other kit that most people don’t even know exists.

During my MoD civil service days at an RAF station, the standard issue there was an Izal like paper with Government Property printed on each sheet. I was overjoyed when I read somewhere that Government toilet paper was going to be tissue. It never changed in my days there, but I have a feeling that Toilet Tissue paper was not actually the soft stuff, but more like Izal......

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.

A cynic like me suspects that an "informative link" may soon be posted as to from where we might purchase the latest electric bidet.

The first bidet I saw was in a house my dad built for our dentist back in the 1960's when I was still at school, when it was finished my mother and our neighbour went to clean the new house ready for hand over taking me and the other kids along for the day as it was during the school holidays.


The house is in a very upmarket village just south of Birmingham and was architect designed with a central patio courtyard that has all the rooms opening onto it, an upmarket house in a up market location. So it had all the bells and whistles including several bidets in various bathrooms.


I still remember the shrieks as my mother turned one on to demonstrate it to our neighbour, the plumber had connected the cold supply on them directly to the mains and the water was bouncing off the ceiling showering us all in water. The bidets went straight on the snagging list!

Bidets? Bidets? When I werra lad all we had was slippery Izal toilet paper. Then we washed us hands int bucket of watttter.


Bidets? Luxury. Now they ave blinkin electric bidets. luxury.
