Quoting erdinc:

Yeah, on July I'm moving to my 6.th flat in London in two years. So far all the places I have lived in had the same taps. I'll ask the landlord to change the taps but I doubt he will be very impressed with this idea.



ahh erdinç... i think this is the first time i have ever seen you post stuff like a normal member.. you are usually worrying about all the threads and posts etc. (please take that in the nicest way intended hehe)
i feel like i really know you now.. i even know how u shave in the morning hehehe

Quoting Chantal:

But when I was in the UK, a friend of mine had the same problem when he wanted to shave.. silly Brits .



It isn't just the Brits!!!

When I was in Turkia last year, the sink in the bathroom had very similar taps to those that Erdinç has shown us.....I don't have this problem shaving though - I use an electric shaver

talk about taps in Britain, well over here we have the same concepts like Erdinc shown, or get the mixer which is the trend now in my country but in Belgium i had the mixer installed in all my bathrooms and toilet (comes with bidet too)

What I want to add was this experience i had the 1st time in London. It's one of those B & B near Notting Hill (i think) i had to choose in one of Heathrow Airport Hotel service because I missed my connection flight to Brussels... Ok, to cut the story short, after the long hours of travelling and waiting (also looking for that B & B in the dark and under shower of rain) the 1st thing in my head was to the Loo!!!

Without much thought, i turned on the light of the bathroom and sit on the toilet bowl (sorry, to described in detail.. ) Good heavens!!! I nearly fell through the seat!!! I was surprised to see the toilet bowl is HUGE..i mean i had to hold on the rim..balancing like an acrobat without accidently dipping in... It's scary to think i may stuck myself in there and need help

I guessed that type of toilet bowl is old compared to current models but... Anyway, each time i went into Hotel or any lodging, I look before I plunge!!! lol

Just going back to the washing up thing. We are probably all aware of the hundreds of wifes tales in turkey..but heres one I couldnt keep a straight face over. My Turksih friend came to stay here in uk and the first time i washed up ..he stood watching..and i wash up like thousands of brits..wash in washing up liquid and put dishes etc on drainer and leave. I rinse the cutlery and glasses under hot water. He was beside himself.. apparantly if all the dishes etc are not dried immediatly ..we will all get cancer :-S Well there are plenty more where that came from..but thats another story..and I never did die from wearing nothing on my feet in my home lol

Hello jools!
Just to let you know that washing up liquid has been proven to be a known carcengenic! Your Turkish friend is right - unfortunately!!!!!!
I always rinse everything because of this ...... and then I have a cigarette afterwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
