All our taps are separate hot/cold (old building) and they seem to work pretty well.. My sister's house has a sing with two separate taps (hot/cold) yet separate spouts... Yeah, turn on the hot on the left and you get a stream of hot - turn on the cold, and you get a separate stream of cold on the right.. Downright stupid. If you want 'warm' you have to plug the drain and fill the sink.

I don't tend to do that. Incidentally, I challenge you to justify separate hot and cold water taps on a bathroom sink. We've just moved into a house that's got them, and it's the single most annoying thing I've had to live with. You can't get decently temperated water however hard you try! <em>unwesen's last blog post..<a href='http://www.unwesen.de/articles/died_in_a_philosophizing_accident' rel="nofollow">Died in a Philosophizing Accident</a></em> Non-flushing of toilet?

Ok, so you've got a single handle jobber - but what would you instinctively do when faced with dual controls? Which do you adjust? Why? Sure, it's an odd question, yet it's one of those ones that likely doesn't have an answer. It's not like we were taught how to use taps. I doubt it's genetic code. But why do some do one thing and others do another? It's the things we do in our world, our way, and we've never really been challenged to justify it...

Might just be what the shower at the last flat was like, though, our current shower is just incapable of reaching a nice temperature. <em>unwesen's last blog post..<a href='http://www.unwesen.de/articles/died_in_a_philosophizing_accident' rel="nofollow">Died in a Philosophizing Accident</a></em> Well, given the assumption that the hot water comes out hot and not lukewarm, I tend to mix in a bit more cold water than hot, so regulating the temperature with the cold water tap seems more fine grained.
