Two-hole sinks still have two inlets (as @68Olds was saying), but the modern tap will still be a mixer. Lots of old houses have old pipework, so even a new sink/basin has to accomodate the possibility.

And now for something completely different.

I am proud to be Scots British.

RAF ban on 'exploding' Tunnock's teacakes lifted after 60 years

The marshmallow treats were put on the no-fly list after erupting in a cockpit in 1965.

www.bbc.co.uk

So they make new mixing faucets that fit the traditional two faucet spacing. US companies (Home Depot - Lowes) would make sure nothing like that existed so you would be forced to buy a faucet and a sink. lol

Those exploding Tea Cakes sound tasty.

And the mallow... It would be devastated by being tongued with a thick Scottish accent.

I personally am not a fan of foods that require a special approach. I mostly cook things that even a total idiot will get right.

Still hung up on the taps??? Lol

personal preference lots of both types in hardware stores here in Canada for bathroom sinks and kitchen sinks

variety is the spice of life they say

Nah, we've moved on. Connector / dual input mixer taps assured me that it's not 1910 anymore.

I love cooking special things... but I don't like it when you have to eat something a certain way.

Yeah, if a spoon isn't enough then the design of this dish is flawed. Where are the QA watching..?

I dont think the mallow cares when you have your face all up in it.

I've never heard of portable washing machines

It was a thing in both North America and Europe back in the 50s, 60s and 70s, as were the double faucets.

Starting to pack again. Tickets not yet booked but that will be sorted tonight and I hope to be flying out Wednesday or Thursday depending on availability. I'll be back (again) in early May. May-be before the 15th.

There is a very small possibility that i'll be heading out there a 3rd time around Oct-Nov time. Currently not quite sure if the 3rd trip will happen but its a possibility.

::EDIT::

Well. Wed/Thurs departure was very wishful thinking. £1000+ PER PERSON. I now roll out on the 14th at a less eyewatering £597 PP. Curse everyone with the same idea of flying back for easter!

Incoming allergy season, might be time to bust out the hayfever tablets again.

We are at the peak of Tree Bark season, I am just thankful I grew out of my tree bark allergy because when I was a teenager I had to go for jabs every week just to be able to open my eyes between late March and late April.

Do you really have to ruin the nice weather with that negativity? :roll:

I'm actually happy that my time off work coincided with some sunshine for once. I can't remember when this last happened to me.

Masks. The Covid types should help a lot.

Ahhhh, but is that consistent bad weather of just bad luck/holiday selection

It generally falls/fell under "Hayfever" but it tends to be much worse in the extremes, where as what we call "standard hayfever" mainly is breathed into the body the tree bark thing is exclusivly direct eye contact. I was also allergic to some grasses as well but not nearly as bad as the damn trees, luckily I woke up one day when I was 17 or 18 and BOOM, no hayfever

Lovely spring morning here!!!

We've been having almost a straight week of sunshine up here in Scotland, at least on the Central Belt, and it's been glorious.

If it'll help? Sure, why not. Getting an air filtering/purifying machine would likely do wonders to.

Well, last summer lasted for roughly two weeks. If you want to call the fact that I couldn't book holidays exactly for those two weeks bad luck, then be my guest.
