I had a bath in this house, it never got used so I took it out and sold it for scrap.
I had a wet room built when my wife had a fall getting out of the shower cubicle. She done her ankle in. See showers are dangerous. Another reason not to have one.
Sad, but she never got to use the wet room.
But seriously I will shower once or twice a week. Well I am on a water meter.
I'm sure I've responded on here before, but my memory isn't much good these days.

Anyway, I consider baths ineffective for cleaning oneself; they are OK for lying down in, I suppose, but if you're dirty you end up lying in your dirt.

Showers are much cleaner. The dirt, sweat, oils and dead skin (and quite possibly bogies as well) are washed away down the plughole.

And, if you're on a water meter, a quick shower will use less water than a bath.

No wonder my skin is dry as a bone.
I agree. When we get up in the morning, Marge tends to wander about doing womanny things and having her breakfast, then has a shower. I, on the other hand, don't feel happy doing anything until I've had a shower.

Same here bud. I'm in a foul mood until I've had a shower.
Sometimes Mrs. Floydysaurus drags me out shopping straight from bed and I'm positively evil. Growling and snarling at everybody around me.

Oh, good heavens, there's no way I'd set foot outside of the house if I haven't had a shower!
