I hope you told them what a disgrace of a man he is, drinking and lusting after other women, and how he's not good enough for their daughter? I know i would.
Bathroom? Sheer luxury! We have a 'ole In t' ground and 'ope it rains so we can get a tin can from next doors dustbin and drink unmetered water under t'gas light. We 'ave to be careful, like, that we dig t'water 'ole uphill from t'cess pit.
Unless your original plumbing was put in by an idiot, you can drink fresh water from all cold taps except the bath which may be tank fed ( if you have a tank in loft ) this was done to keep the pressures equal. Or you may have a water softener fitted then the only tap safe to drink from is the kitchen sink tap. That was a public service information message
To be honest I'm rather alarmed that in the twenty-first century anyone has a non-potable domestic water supply. We don't live in France ffs. Dirty bastards. Edit: The French I mean. They have non-potable water signs everywhere. Not Not606ers who haven't got their plumbing sorted out. They're not dirty bastards. Just incompetent DIYers. Or cheapskates. Or just don't like plumbers.
Although I cast my vote as no (I thought it meant bath tap) I often drink water from our ensuite sink cold tap when I,ve been out on the lash and wake up about 4am with a thirst and am as dry as gahndi,s flip flops. We dont have loft tank as we have combi etc.
i think the reason we subconciously wont drink from the bathroom tap (especially upstairs) is 1. the hot and cold pipes will run close together for a fair stretch making the coldwater less cold 2. that the pressure is/was often reduced ,making it harder to get the water to run cold - compounded by above reason . Imagine the health issues if we were able to drink water from a still tank stored in the loft for mice , rats , bats and birds to share - let alone the dust & insects Despite knowing the cold water should be direct from the mains feed i just wont drink it
first sensible post on the thread. otherwise a lack of plumbing knowledge on the thread. not a crime. all cold taps should be connected directly to the mains. the tank in the loft is a header tank. its purpose is to push the hot water from the hot water tank out of the pipes and to replace whatever is used. best not to drink from the warm water taps for reasons mentioned elsewhere. if you have a boiler and no hot water tank, there's nothing to worry about. the comment about cold water in pipes being warmed by adjacent hot pipes is fair.
Kinell, some of you DON'T have ensuites? You all living on Bransholme or sommat? The ensuites as essential as the bidet imo. Not that I drink from the bidet before anyone suggests it. Dirty bastards.
i remember seeing a prank video (in oz i think) where some fellers mates replumbed his water by connecting it all to Beer - aussie beer mind , so maybe best used to just flush the dunny
When I extended the bathroom, the wife insisted I fit a bidet. Just squeezed it in between the bog and the bath. It's used to store towels in. For reasons I simply don't understand.
He said en suite sink so not a compete bathroom then. But the sink does double up as a toilet at 4am,
I know someone who shat in a bidet in France years ago because they thought it was a new kind of toilet - spent ages with a metal coathanger trying to get rid of it
Three points to raise. 1. I was brought up on Bransholme. 2. I have 3 bathrooms including 2 en suites which means I am probably considerably richer than you. 3. I have drank from a bidet before, who the **** hasn't? And as you all know I have eaten a kebab from a bin, it's what proper blokes do. As for drinking from the bathroom tap? GTF, I'm not an animal.
