But not all is well in GB bathroom design, despite the fact that we are all used to it....
Q = Why can a bath overflow ?
A = Because you leave the taps running with the plug plugged in!
Q = No, again, why can a bath overflow?
A = BECAUSE THE OVERFLOW HOLE AND PIPE ARE TOO FF.ING SMALL !!
In Britain, the overflow hole and pipe are just too small.
You would not find such a problem in a modern German bathroom.
