Cultural Learnings Of United Kingdom To Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Hungary

[Richard Hakluyt]

Lack of curtains and carpeted bathrooms are, of course, important indicators in the class system. A carpeted bathroom is an indicator of working class origins, the upper echelons of that group, possibly even the lowest members of the middle class. Ordinarily, though, the owner of a house with a carpeted bathroom would also favour lots of curtains..........possibly even those nasty net curtains formerly so essential to the lives of the people living in the no-mans-land between the working and middle classes 

Going without curtains is ridiculous of course; so is confined to the upper and upper-middle classes, bohemians and proletarian scum............it is the sort of thing that Boris Johnson would do because if we happened to see his naked body it would be our problem not his.

The Larch's experience of carpeted bathrooms anda lack of curtains can only be explained by a mixed marriage. His landlord and landlady must have come from widely differing social classes.

Not just a class indicator but an age one as well. Nobody under 50 of whatever class would put carpets in a bathroom these days.

Yes, I'm sure that is part of it too.

[The Larch]

Well, it was in the 90s. And in Ireland.

I would.

Carpets and warm feet - good.

Floor and cold feet - bad.

As I discovered when I moved from a house that had a non-carpeted bathroom to one that the previous owners had had carpeted.

I completely fail to understand the fuss here.

[Josquius]

It does sound lovely on the surface, though thinking deeper it seems a bit...moist.
Mats in a bathroom are a bit of a must though.

[The Larch]

A carpeted bathroom must be one of the most unhygienic things ever.

[Grey Fox]

What about showers in bedrooms?

[garbon]

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.

You realize that you can wash mats, right?

Do you just drip water everywhere?

[Gups]

Ugh. Carpentd bathrooms are hideous. Get underfloor heating, a radiator or a pair of slippers.

[The Minsky Moment]

Floor and cold feet - bad.

Hence radiant heat.

[The Brain]

Wait. When we're talking "carpeted bathrooms" we're talking actual carpets and actual bathrooms?

No it's a euphemism for pubic hair.

[Tamas]

What about showers in bedrooms?

If you mean bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, those are the greatest design decisions ever considering how many people want to live in and around London, and just how utterly Brits are against buildings which rise above 2 meters.

Ah, that should make the list! Instead of building big tall apartment buildings to house all the people who are now crammed up 6-strangers-per-house in tiny rooms some evil greedy fellow labelled a "bedroom" (think garbon`s place in New York), they keep sticking with these ground level houses, so they can have these "gardens" as they call the tiny pathetic strips of grass they have behind the buildings.
