Our shower doesn't really get you wet. I guess it could be said to be a shower ahead of its time. Back in the 80s when the world was wanting everything to be bigger, better, faster… and showers to be wetter and more powerful, no-one was really thinking about the environment. Except perhaps the person who designed our shower. No water is wasted. If you are washing or rinsing your arm, then your arm will be wet, but the rest of you will pretty much be dry.
At the weekend Andrea told me that it’s not her personal trainer that attracts her to the gym, but the glorious, powerful, abundant showers. Andrea’s shower is great. I used to think my parents’ shower was pretty mediocre. My parents’ shower is great.
You don’t really hang around in our shower. You concentrate while you’re in there. Concentrate on getting wet, then concentrate on the getting the soap off your body, no dawdling. Then one day I the second light on the shower caught my eye – the first is to tell you the power’s turned on, but what does the second tell you?
The second light is labelled “low pressure”. I laughed out loud. So I’m not sure our shower was designed by an environmentalist ahead of his time. I think it was designed by someone with a warped sense of humour.
