28/Feb/2011 Water tap

British water tap is a catastrophic design failure.


Normally on a water tap, there are two knobs for controlling hot and cold water, and hot and cold water goes into the same pipe so you can adjust the temperature of the mixed water by turning the knobs to change the flow of the hot or cold water. However on the British ones, there are two pipes, one for hot water and one for cold water. That means you will never have the running water in the temperature you wanted, you have to mix the water in the sink. 



How annoying is that! 


I was discussing this with Kiu Yu Ho today when we were visiting B&Q and saw a large selection of those stupid taps. We couldn't think of any advantage of having two separate pipes instead of one. 


I just hope that nobody would buy them anymore,
