Another odd question, I know.
If I am just getting clean a shower will do, but when I am sinking into a bath i like it warm. In fact I like the water just hot enough to make my skin tingle. To sink in, up to my neck is heaven.
Then again if anything is going to happen that is to hot, but for just soaking and chatting the water has to be hot.

I think the question is in the title.
My bath has got a hole in. I don't have baths at the moment. :cry: If I did I could also have a shower in the kitchen

Whatever next? What's your favourite sock colour? Semi-skimmed or full-fat?Do you wipe from front to back?
Good thread
I prefer patterned socks, usually a dark colour.
Semi-skimmed milk for me. No fat is just white water, referred to as 'dog's milk' and full fat is to fatty.
Wiping hmmmmm. I'll need to think about this.
I just love a bath!.. I'm going to have one in about half and hour because I'm aching and coming down with a cold!.. I have heard it's not a good idea to have it too hot, something to do with your circulation, but in cold weather, the hotter the better for me, and even better if you're sharing..

the goverment has decided that too many children are being scalded in baths because they cant seem to understand that you cant just leave them in a bath and walk away and do something else, children want more hot water and turn tap on and scald themselves.
all new installations will soon have to be fitted with a thermostatic valve. so does not matter what temerature you want the goverment has decided it for you again.
this is true. To be honest i think its a good idea you can adjust it

Who in their right mind would walk away and leave a young child?? I didn't leave mine until she was well old enough. I can see the point about the taps tho, I hadn't thought of that because I was always in the bathroom so it was never an issue to me.

I like my bath hot hot hot!

Showers that are installed for elderly or disabled people generaly have a thermostatic control. These are set at 43 degrees which in fairness is not really hot. However, this does reduce the risk of scalds. The reason for this is quite simple.
Many elderly/disabled people cannot move quickly enough to avoid scotching hot water or may have skin sensetivity problems that means they cannot tell that the water is too hot until the skin is scalded.
If you had ever seen pictures of children put into very, very hot baths you may well change your opinion.
Yes choice is a good thing and yes the government does stick its nose into many areas that it should keep out of but perhaps it is a good thing that these kinds of issues are discussed.
Well I used to run my baths so hot my skin went red.
Now I have a weird little habbit. I run my bath almost tepid so when I get in I am quite cold, then I love adding the hot water whilst I'm in the bath so I can enjoy the feeling of being freezing then getting warm. I do have a life.... honest.

think you did not read my post properly my opinion is it is a good idea.
All thermostatic showers have buttons you have to press to get water hotter, they are set when first installed.

ooh i do that thort i was wierd
my son being nearly 8 does like to be in the bath on his own but although he is hyper he never lets the water get hot enough to scald i firstly run his bath at a warm temp but as he spends an hour in the bath (swimming :!: :!: :!: ) this soon cools and he adds a little himself if i thort he cudnt be trusted then i wudnt let him so this so i guess its each to thier own and what every ones children are like
Quote by Ukwineman
most adults especially women will agree with you Louise but you know how hot that water comes out at if not mixed with cold. a childs natural reaction when gets to hot is to retreat to other end on bath but then can not turn it off, plus tap might get too hot for them to turn off.
Im not saying i make my kids bath like that,just mine, i have three daughters and i do know not to do that.

I like mine so my skin turns a little pink but I'm not one of those who could sit in there and read War & Peace I run the bath, get in, get washed and get out again but I do prefer a bath to a shower.
As for the rest:
Socks - black or navy for work. Childish cartoon ones for slopping around
Either milk but never EVER full fat
And ALWAYS wipe front to back

Strike, no one is to bath until this law is repelled.

OK back to work, an adjustable thermostat may have value.

You are correct, it is possible to get light headed if the bath is to hot, but I like them.
Bath with a friend save water.

Socks; black, I think I have been institutionalized.
Milk; I like the good suff, so offered half a glass of real milk or a full glass of semi, I will take the half glass. Quality over quantity.
..wipe from front to back; I like to start wiping my bath partner from the back, save the best bits to last.
