One thing I hate about being away from home – in other people’s houses, hotels, spas, gyms etc, is that every single shower control is different. The more sleek designery ones have no clue on them what is hot or cold or how you switch from bath to shower or regulate the temperature. I have wasted so much water in strange showers just trying to find how to get the water to come out of the shower, and adjust the temperature.
Some hotels have now done away with mixer taps and you have to fiddle with two retro taps to get the water temperature correct.
Scandinavia has mostly wet rooms so you often have one shower head to clean the wet room and one to clean yourself. I usually end up turning the wrong one on and not being able to change it.
Is it just me?
