- A combi that can do two showers, say 14 litres/min.

14lpm does not equate to two showers.

It does. Water companies are to charge extra if you have a power
shower
pump, of which most do not get up to 17-18 litres/min. 14 litres min
of
hot
will be about 17-18 with cold added.

With piddly little electric showers doing around 5lpm, 7lpm does not
equate to a decent shower.

7 l/m with an electric shower is a powerful shower.

It's more than that - it's a miracle.

In the US, in some
areas they are considering limiting showers to 7-8 l/min. Some water
companies went around all the house and fitted flow restrictors in the
hose
outlets.

The shower gestapo?

Most never noticed any difference. People like the pressure on
their skin, the flow doesn't mean that much.

Two generalisations which are pretty meaningless.

You obviously don't know.
