Grumpy Old Man Syndrome

[Billhook]

Ok, I know I know bbbbut

Back on the farm and in the Woods I cannot move for fear of violating some ‘elf and safety rule.  Most of which are fair but a lot are bleeding’ obvious.  Caution on working on slippery surfaces, caution on ladders and working from heights, caution when using teleporters when reversing etc

Now staying in London at the second hotel and there is again a faucet on both the sink and shower with no indication whatsoever of which  direction to turn it for hot or cold.  In the old days of separate taps you would have a red dot on the hot tap and a blue one in the cold.  Years before that it would by experiment I discovered one changed the direction from shower to bath but not before I had  received a blast of red hot water to my head from the shower.  I have like all of you learned that turning the faucet to the left would mean hot and to the right cold.  But this faucet was mounted vertically to confuse further and there was no indication of which faucet controlled the shower/bath and which the hot cold..  It seems that there is no standard as each hotel I stay in is different 

You would have thought that things would improve over time especially where very hot water is concerned.   Rrrrrrrrrrrr

I wasn't grumpy until the word faucet. It's a f-ing tap 😄
