Worst British inventions

Two water taps - one is too hot and one is too cold.

Ah yes, but no queueing for bread.

I've got good taps at home but not at the science park, water mixing ain't rocket science is it!?

That place you list was half build when they run out of money and most of building without roof was under rain for 9 months, then someone bought it and finished, I've seen how they build it - nice bricks outside are just one layer covering some tulip behind it (that's my personal opinion - I would not want to rent it, nevermind buying).

Good point.

There is no bread in this country ffs

Though on positive note Waitrose now sells Russian bread.

Perhaps they figured you might be able to apply a little science to mixing it to the right temperature in the sink? It does have a sink doesn't it? Easy to spot, generally located about a foot underneath the taps, usually white, and as solid as your noggin.

Running water is cleaner, you dirty cretin.

I have monobloc mixer taps in all eight of my bathrooms and toilets.

Yes you have, now please go to Bedroom #8 and tell Napoleon that it is the time for his pills.

At least we don’t have to carry around our own personal bath plugs

It has been running down dirty pipes for miles, I am sure you can handle it sitting in your ( I assume ) clean sink for 60 seconds.

Not really cutting it in the first world, are you alexei?
Hope to God you don't have to negotiate any escalators on your trip home!!

Good point.

That's why there are no queues for it

It's called lack of investment.

Though to be fair, UK Building Regs are quite particular about how hot and cold water mix and that, so we are told, makes mixer taps soooo expensive. It's those same Building Regs which mean you need to buy a power shower to get decent hot water pressure.
