How stupid do you have to be to get into a bath that's too hot? When
you toe hits the water, you simply say ouch, remove your toe, and add
cold water.

Not true, actually. Elderly / disabled people with poor senses regularly
burn themselves seriously.


Thermostats have been fitted to baths and basins for over twenty five years
in hospitals.
