European plug sockets .

It'll be alright man, I was electrocuted quite badly 240v as a bairn and I turned out all right.

That’s what the doctor said.

My mate drinks it in his gaff Benelmadena but it tastes of bleach .

It does but thats because chlorine, the chemical the use to sterilise the mains, is a very volatile element. They sterilise to prevent a host of nasties including legionella. Chlorine however being such a light element disappates very quickly and as a result the Spanish,especially in hot weather, tend to massively over chlorinate municipal supplies. It is absolutely potable but can taste awful particularly when you want a cup of tea. A brittas water filter though clears it brilliantly and saves a fortune in bottled water and the hack on of recycling.

I think there's springs in that area . I know there is lower down in Nerja .


1, 3, and 7 .


Not what I wanted to hear . We can keep an eye on them most of the time but it's when they're alone in the bedrooms that bothers me . Somebody mentioned cover, which I've seen in Blighty but not yet in Spain .

Like people have said, the Europeans seem to manage. Less safe doesn't necessarily mean unsafe.

Cant remember seeing a doctor as I went into shock and passed out.

I don't like it when I'm feeling my way to the netty and my fingers go in the leccy socket hole thing .

Buy some plug covers for the 1 year-old.

If the other two stick their fingers in that's natural selection.

We bought the covers for the ones in the bedrooms and bathroom and my 2 are 4&2 - never even bothered with them tbf

Not sure ro ne honest. Some won't have an earth either...

I’ve just come back from India, and even their sockets seem to be safer than most of the EU/USA ones.

Europe can fuck off in 6 weeks anyway.

You're missing the point.

This isn't about sockets, it's about the OP's 'gaff' on the Costa Del Sol.

 

[natinnam]

My lads have been all over the place with me, with many variants of sockets, and never once have they been seen trying to stick their fingers in sockets. I wouldn't worry.

I doubt the OP will...

I wouldn't go anywhere as common as that .

Do you crawl to the bathroom or do they just put the plugs ridiculously high up on the wall?

 

[cocky]

When I was a bairn I stuck a hair grip in one when we were on holiday in Estartit, blew the electrics for the whole apartment building iirc.
