The world's worst shower?

Been on some travels the last couple of weeks. Staying at small hotels and B&Bs. Prefer to avoid Travel Lodge etc.

One small hotel in an old country house had an en suite. Very small with a shower. The shower was in a corner cubical of standard size with opening glass doors as the other two 'walls' - not much use as one hit the loo after about a couple of inches. The other touched the room door before opened to 90 degrees. Bathroom had ceramic tiles, bedroom carpet. The shower was a fixed head about 6ft 6in above floor level and angled towards the door. There was no flow control, only temperature. The pipes were covered in what appeared to be a custom made stainless steel cover.

Despite the highest flow and pressure I've ever known from a shower it took ages to run hot. So you'd open the door to turn it on - get soaked with cold water - and the floor - wait for about half a minute then get in. The tray was slippery and there was absolutely nothing to hang on to - not even a proper door handle. Great when trying to stand on one foot while washing the other. No where for the soap or shampoo etc.

I hate having water blasted at my face so I can't open my eyes. With a flow control it might have been better. With the standard slide up and down detachable head great. Wonder who designed such a torture device?

Still the good thing is it will probably soon fall through the floor due to soaking the bedroom carpet at the entrance and causing rot to the floor joists.

The message from "Dave Plowman (News)" contains these words:

I remember the showers in Leeds university - they were in the basement and the pressure was scary - big shower heads with large holes. I felt like a beetle being pinned to a board.
