Tap dancing

While browsing the ether, I came accross a fellow blogger's dilema.

Why do the British still insist on having two taps instead of one combined one?

Good question, and one which I am completely unaware of the answer.

I appreciate that this is indeed a problem. Having to constantly switch between freezing cold and scaldingly hot is not the best thing to wake up to, but I imagine that, if used correctly (i.e. fill sink with water) it uses far less water than having it juts pour down the sink...

What is more worrying however, is that someone has taken the time to write a wikipedia entry!

Just in case you had any doubts...
