Doors could be atop dwarf walls where flooding occurs to low level

Which is precisely why almost all the requirements of Prat M should be
binned (along with Prat P)

Level access is, to the vast majority of the population a complete
abomination. Or, more simply put: If you're a cripple, then pay or
use your insurance payout to have your house converted, but don't
inflict your ****ty design 'improvements' on the rest of the
population.

I don't want sockets halfway up a wall, light switches in a similarly
stupid place and a door threshold that means the inside of the house
floods at the slightest hint of surface water outside. If I ever get
in such a state as to need any of the above will someone get me ****ed
and send me on a short stagger along a railway line.
