Mixer taps

I waste a lot more water trying to get the temperature I want than twin taps, especially the one in the kitchen which has two levers and a central spout and I am more conscious of it now because we are on a water meter. Never worried before about how much went down the sink. Some of them are so complicated too. DD has one in her ultra modern kitchen and I never know which way to turn the lever to control it - I just shout for GS. Things were a lot simpler when I was little. We had one tap in our house and it was cold!

I posted yesterday about my H and the bath, so enough of that, but our mixer tap in on the long side of the bath and just levers, very easy to use but of course in our struggles as soon as he touched one with whichever body part was nearest the waters started running. It was touch and go whether I got to it before he got bits scalded or frozen . I wished fervently for the very old type with the cross top which sometimes took a bit of brute force to turn them.
