From weak showers to cold showers

Labour have done a temporary retreat on their weak showers policy of a maximum rate flow of six litres a minute. But they still have an even worse policy lurking – to limit the size of hot water cylinders in small homes to 180 litres. So your shower won’t be weak, but it may turn cold! This is to come into force in February 2009.

How is this for a policy – you can have as big or as fast a shower as you fucking want to – so long as you pay for the water and power. If you want to put in a 400 litre hot water cylinder and have a 15 litre per minute shower you should be able to. The Government should get the hell out of the way.

What next you need to get permission to have a spa pool?

A maximum depth for baths?

Is there no end to nanny state?
