If you have your wallet stolen you lose your driving licence and fifty quid...inconvenient but not the end of the world. Lose your phone and with it, if you've been swayed by the promise of " shiny new apps" , potentially, your lifesavings.

That's not so bad.

Since the 13/14th edition of the reg's, socket outlets should be 6 inches/150mm above kitchen work surfaces.

But there wasn't/isn't a min distance from a sink reg. Only recommendations.

Now though, part P of the building reg's do say/suggest 30mm min distance.

But it was always common sense that you wouldn't stick a socket behind a tap or so ...
