But, who, I'd like to know, was responsible for choosing the bathroom washbasins? So arranged that you can't easily reach the water for washing, shaving or tooth-cleaning because -- you're on the wrong side of the TAPS!!

That's crazy! It looks like you have to steer the sink like a motorbike.
Hmm, I hope the new bathroom being installed while we're in NZ doesn't look like this!
BTW, saw a T-shirt in Eton today that read "Nobody reads my blog"!

Humm, I'm afraid you are know a Fashion Victim... only for, perhaps...3000$ per washbowl.....
I agree with you,this sink is a weird one,very difficult to use.Absurdity is seen sometimes in construction:

Great link, Denise. Thanks! Everyone else check it out!
Maybe it's designed to make it easier for you to do tap dancing - NO, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
Artuarj: The art of design encompassing no sense whatsoever.
That is just nuts. Still, be grateful your car didn't have the steering wheel attached to the front bumper. Unless...
LISAH - You may actually have 'tapped' into the designer's psyche - after all, Broadway is just around the corner...
GOOD DOG - Funny you should say that... ;-)
and people actually STUDY at college to come up with these "ideas"? how about bath taps beside your bed so the bath is filled by the time you get there? then you can go back to sleep while the house floods itself!
rears: I'd rather not go there!
SUZANNE - Might be safer just to sleep in the bath!
That's weird! Must be the same people who designed my *"ç&*ç%/ kitchen sink, so impractical!
