Safety, you aren’t allowed 3pin sockets to be installed in bathrooms (which would allow you to plug anything into the bathroom socket) the 2 pin sockets are only useable for thing like shavers and electric toothbrushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Why is it when you go up to a bar your natural instinct is to want to out your foot up on the footrail (is that a real word) that goes round the base of the bar and if one is absent it's bloody annoying!?

I assumed it was the "you could plug anything into a 3 pin socket" and because its a bathroom with loads of running water/moisture/people in baths they don't want folk plugging in devices that aren't typically required in a bathroom.

superjack Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 How come, whether I'm wearing an old or a new t shirt, how come I always have the same amount of fluff in my belly button? Surely with an older top, there should be less fluff as the material is worn. I honestly feel I could make a vegan friendly king size quilt every week.

Lone Striker Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Why do bath towels have these bare strips ? What's the point ? You buy a luxury bath towel for its soft fluffiness, not for a 3-inch wide strip of scratchy non-absorbent material . They're also a bit dangerous when you're drying your dangly bits and you forget where the bare strip is. Ouch !! 😲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t call Newcastle-upon-Tyne ‘Tyne’ or Stoke-on-Trent ‘Trent’ ? Wasn't there some official renaming of K-u-H as just Hull a decade or more ago ? On google maps, its just Hull. The "Hull" refers to the River Hull, so perhaps there was once a town called Kingston near its confluence with the Humber........ so maybe its just down to the passage of time and how people gradually shortened it to Hull ? It does seem odd though. N-u-T seems to still officially appear on maps as such, but most people just call it Newcastle - even though there's another Newcastle (under-Lyme) in England !!

We don’t call Newcastle-upon-Tyne ‘Tyne’ or Stoke-on-Trent ‘Trent’ ? Hull has been traditionally anti-royalist. Founded in the late 12th century as Wyke on Hull by the monks of Meaux Abbey, it was purchased by Edward I who renamed it Kings-town upon Hull. However, during the Civil War the town declared support for Parliament and refused entry to Charles I who then besieged it.
