Oh an other favourite of mine: how the relation between curtains and privacy at home is apparently lost on a lot of Britons. They. Just. Would. Not. Put. Curtains. Up.
What the hell?!!

My new bathroom has one of those high opaque windows to let light in. I hates it. Especially considering there are occasionally planes flying overhead.

Maybe they don't have anything to hide. 

I disagree.

The best thing about the UK is its surveillance society.  Soon, all human action and interaction will be transparent and honest and natural.  It'll be great.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Maybe they don't have anything to hide.  Do you?

Maybe there are people who like to hide from the sun in the early morning. Being waken up at 6 or 7 because blinders or curtains seemed to be some cutting edge development in home refurbishment is not something I was keen on when I was a teenager doing language courses there in the summers.

And the carpeting. THE CARPETING. IN THE BATHROOM.

OK, curtains for denying the sun is fine; and carpet in bathrooms is fucking gross.

I feel like I recall some master baths in Southern California, where the sinks are separate from the shower/tub/toilet. The former had carpeting with the latter having tile.

My sink and toilet are both separate from my bathtub.  But I understand that things need to be a little more efficient in an NYC apartment.

I meant they were in a separate but adjoining room.

I've never seen a carpeted bathroom in my life.

I know a lot of people who put down mats.  I think that's gross too.

Actually, my bathroom's kind of nasty, but that's laziness, not setting up bacteria traps on purpose.
