    Electric Shower Removal

    The electric shower is an eye sore in my opinion lol. I was wondering if i can remove the box completely from the wall and just connect a new shower to my bath taps without using the electric at all.

    Double socket situation

    I've got a double socket located in my front room, it has a PC and monitor plugged into it. Three days ago the switch broke so that one side would default back to the on position. I took it apart (after isolating etc.) and saw it was all worn inside (been in house ten years and never had it changed) I replaced it yesterday with a new socket front and it was fine until the evening when it all happened again. I had an electrician out today to check and they said it was probably a poor/faulty socket and replaced it again. Almost a day later... it's happened again. Any ideas would be appreciated before I put anymore money into it. I'm pretty confident it's not the devices as they've been in other rooms for varying lengths of time with no issues Cheers
