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!!

ReplyDeleteHmm, I hope the new bathroom being installed while we're in NZ doesn't look like this!

Great link, Denise. Thanks! Everyone else check it out!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's designed to make it easier for you to do tap dancing - NO, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

ReplyDeleterears: I'd rather not go there!
SUZANNE - Might be safer just to sleep in the bath!
ReplyDeleteThat's weird! Must be the same people who designed my *"ç&*ç%/ kitchen sink, so impractical!
