bristolman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 . Do you still feel that you couldn't trust a PM who wasn't into eating pigs? I did say bacon and he wasn't eating it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 That should be easy enough to ask the electrician to do. How about design homes with showers, ensuites and laundries. I laugh on the tv shows when you see the washing machine in the kitchen. Almost all houses have showers, many have ensuites and laundries and it's much less common to have a washing machine in the kitchen.

bristolman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 If your shower requires you to stand in the bath tub, then it isn't a real shower. A shower is a shower, I don't see your point. We have a separate shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 I doubt your statement that most houses in the UK have separate showers and laundries. I hope you are right but it certainly didn't use to be that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I doubt your statement that most houses in the UK have separate showers and laundries.. When we were flat-hunting, most flats seemed to have showers in the bath and washing machines in the kitchen. Whereas Australians (including my oh) find the very idea of a washing machine in the kitchen totally bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes especially in a flat space is at a premium of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas Australians (including my oh) find the very idea of a washing machine in the kitchen totally bizarre. Then you'll love this one. The washing machine is just poking out below the door knob on the right. We had to chop the draining board in half and remove the cupboard below to house it. The little chest freezer (rear right) is where the cold shelf/pantry used to be but we knocked it down. The cold shelf was a concretes slab projecting to the outside through the brick wall to draw in the cold. Wonderful idea in winter but not much cop in summer :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Que Sera Sera Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Blimey there's some posh people on here! Our washing machine was well and truly in the kitchen. Which measured about 6ft by 6ft I didn't know anyone with either a Laundry or even an ensuite. Although my Mum did have a downstairs toilet :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 One thing that amazes me in the UK now is the number of people with central heating. When I left the UK thirty years ago, it was almost unheard of and something only extravagant people did (because the running costs were so dear). I remember jumping out of bed on frosty mornings, turning on the gas fire and diving back under the covers for half an hour - and this was in a newly renovated flat in Scotland. It never occurred to us to put in radiators! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never occurred to us to put in radiators! I remember scraping ice of the inside of the windows when I was little. And Bri Nylon sheets that stuck to you, with so many heavy blankets you could hardly move. Mum used to light paraffin heaters in the kitchen and we'd wash there and get dressed too. Ah the days :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolman Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It would be rare to find someone who didn't have central heating. Ours runs off the gas boiler and is incredibly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never occurred to us to put in radiators! We had central heating when I was a child, but we rarely used it, probably because, as you say, it was expensive to run. Like Que Sera Sera, I remember those days of ice on the inside of the windows and getting dressed under the duvet, having warmed up the clothes first! I do remember the days when we did use it and my school uniform was so warm! We had an open fire and an Aga, before they were considered posh. I've never lived in a house without central heating though (except obviously in Australia where, in our old house, we had an open fire and in the newer one we had reverse cycle aircon.) I was a nanny for a while, living in different houses and since I've been with my oh we've lived in 15 houses. I've never lived in house, except one flat, where the washing machine was in the kitchen either, although some of my friends do. The flat we had in Sydney and the Victorian terrace we had in Melbourne had the washing machines and dryers in the bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
