I'm just wondering as someone who has gotten extremely annoyed the past year living in the UK as to why do a lot of british homes still have 2 taps in bathroom/kitchen.I mean I've seen recently renovated flats up for rent with two taps, what's the deal.My problem with it is that it's completely unsanitary, you can't wash your hands with hot water because the hot is scalding and the cold is freezing, doing the left to right can get you burnt as well. Washing your hands with cold water and soap is not that effective at removing all baddies as the hot variety so why the 2 taps?Filling it up sounds stupid again since the basin is a bacterial breeding ground.Just wondering if there are any brits out there who know or want to explain this obsession with this old+stupid system.P.S. Coming from a country considered less developed than the UK, have to say, not even my grandmother has two taps in her house, or has ever had, so maybe the development think skips some areas.
you need a plug in the wash basin to stop the water from running away while you add hot and cold to make it warm,, simple or what!
