All of who would be looked after by someone else

But not full time, as in 24 hours, every single day. My Mum is
almost
91, lives in a warden assisted flat, and has a carer for half an
hour
every day, plus visits from my brother, and SIL. She is not
suffering
from full blown Alzheimers yet, but her memory is iffy. Deciding
to
run
a bath whilst alone is typical of something she just may decide
to
do,
on a whim. Moving her to a care home would make little
difference,
as
there would still not be a person with her, at all times.

Why should the other 99.9% of the population have a mixer tap and
not
just
the few that need it? What next, every house must have a
stairlift?

It isn't a few that need it with little kids.

Yes, little kids should be supervised when having a bath
so they don't drown etc, but it would be quite convenient
to be able to have any of the other kids able to just turn
the tap on to fill the bath at temp that wont scald.

Yes, that should be voluntary rather than mandatory by govt.

Kids aren't stupid.

They can be a lot less careful than adults and plenty of
them don't realise you can kill a little kid if you scald it.

They move out of the way if it's too hot.

Not possible for very small kid in a bath
that's too hot if they can't even walk yet.

You'd have to hold them in the bath forcefully to kill them.

Not with the youngest kids.

They'll remove themselves from hot water.

Not even possible with the youngest babys.

They don't run their own baths.

But they can have other older kids run the bath for them.

If it was too hot, I'd remove it and add cold.

The youngest kids can't even turn the tap, stupid.

Then they wouldn't have turned the hot either.

But they can have other older kids do that.

So you're wanting every house to have a safety feature

Nope, I never ever said anything like that. In fact I said the exact
opposite.

The legislation said they should,

There never was any legislation that said that.

and a lot of you agreed.

No one did on that point.

I thought you were one of them,

No, in fact I said very explicitly that I was not.

I may have been mistaken.

You were.

to stop older kids being mean to younger kids?

Didn't say anything about being mean either, ****wit.

If the older kid can run the bath, the older kid can get the temperature
right.

And can **** it up because they don't realise how easy it is
to scald a little kid that can't get out of the bath if its too hot.
