I've got one, thanks. Except it's *her* shed.

Like that I am bitter and twisted? Sorry, didn't I mention that ? ;-)
Bit of a sexist assumption there Mary. Shame on you ! I am a happily married woman, I'll have you know.
One could do the same with conventionally mounted taps...have a little magnetised compass needle (on a movable bezel) inside each one...

But as a proportion of the total cost, the discs in the taps probably cost as much as the hubcaps on a Rolls.

I've had a look at our taps. The bath says Hot and Cold in black on white, they're very old. The bathroom sink is red on the left and blank on the right, the bit of plastic having fallen out. The kitchen taps are swan necked lab taps, with the controls facing to the side so I had to look carefully. The hot is red, the cold is green.
All the hots are on the left, all the cold are on the right, as I'd expect. I thought it was the standard.
Why do we need to read what's on the control? Surely it becomes habit?

That's what comes of buying left handed tape measures

Indeed....the proper engineer's approach is surely not to have any directionality to what's on the tap. Just make it red or blue!
A few years ago - in the major conurbations at least - a moustache on a man meant there was a good chance he was gay. So not henpecked. ;-)
Why should you try any harder than a Dolphin fitter......
Well - that goes down as today's 'you learn something new every day...'
I *really* didn't know that..... the bit about the roller hubcaps - not the cost of the taps

I saw a Somerfield delivery van the other day that had those, with somerfield logos in them. Might be somewhat cheaper to buy a secondhand ex-Somerfield Iveco than a Roller....
I don't think thats true. I once found a Rolls Royce hub cap and it was=20 nothing special.
Something similiar to this can be found in the hubs of certain buses and=20 lorries. It displays, I presume, mileage. It doesn't rotate with the=20 wheel but can often be seen swinging as the vehicle stops

Wold that be c*ck-pecked then?
The message from Paul Mc Cann contains these words:
But it is true of late models. Your hub cap wouldn't have come off a £250K Rolls Royce.
It's only on the latest BMW Rolls. Would have been considered bling by Royce.
