    British? I swear the Brits still think it’s the feudal times with their two spouts sinks, half enclosed showers, light switches outside the bathroom, and of course driving on the incorrect side of the bloody damned road! Yes I bitter much… at least the French have the food to make up for their eccentricities.

      The sinks make sense for the way houses were built with that tank for the cold water in the attic. New construction shouldn’t have two tanks but I used to live in a house that had this set up and once I understood how it was built I at least understood the need for it at the time.

      Bloody British practicing personal choice and practicability rather than arrogance. They should just get bigger houses, duel sinks in every bathroom, change the light trims with every passing trend. Pull up the bootstraps and stop suffering.
