Senility is...

Do you have any documentary evidence for that explanation? (The matter has been discussed here before.)

A fuller explanation is here:

That is one of those that I found saying much the same things. However, these days, if there is any genuine risk of scalding the answer would be to fit a temperature regulating valve to the hot water side.

The plumber who replaced my kitchen tap hasn't read that as he reversed them. I swapped the C and H indicators, not that you can see them as they are on the side.

With only one tap, I would have thought you would put it in the middle for symmetry.

It is also, turning on the Top Oven then putting pizza in the Big Oven and wondering why it's not cooked.

Owain

Not done that yet. Tap positions are remembered by the numbers of letters! Cold/right 4/5. Hot/left 3/4!

A birthday card with the right sentiment. Apparently I will be 21 with

But I *want* my hot water to be too hot to put my hands in! It always was thus in my youth and that's the wayit should be.

So long as that is what you want and you retain the ability both to recognise the water as being too hot and to remove your body parts from it when you do, not a problem.

I thought that unless your top oven gets up to about 400C, your pizza isn't going to cook properly anyway ?.

The frozen ones I buy cook at 180C.

I've found that with smaller bathroom type sinks placing the single (mixer) tap in the middle restricts access when trying to rinse hair etc. You cannot get your head low enough, without hitting thee tap, to douse the head with water without it ending on the floor. Possibly even a bigger problem if people fit some of the designer type taps with longer or wider spouts such as waterfall taps :) Having a single tap to one side would give better access to the basin.

It's little things like this I hadn't considered when buying bathroom fittings.

I biggest mistake I once made was buying a "modern" square shaped toilet, but later rectified with a replacement traditional shaped toilet.

I cook my home mades about that. Not uber crispy, but very tasty

Or to be seniler than thou, turning on the hot tap and waiting for it to run cold.

I would have thought you would always rinse (or wet) your hair with a nozzle on the end of a hose. Such as a shower hose. I expect domestic versions exist of the kind of basin+hose found in hairdressers.

What are they like to sit on? Do you need a square bum?

Only if you're Michael Bentine

There have always been some squares.
