Interesting use of statistics.

"The average 10-minute shower uses 60 litres of water. A power shower uses
three times that and a bath about 80 litres.


Hmmm... now wondering.

One of the reasons folks stay a long time in the shower is the effort
it takes to soap and dance about to make sure the job is thorough
enough. Bit like washing plates under a running tap. Long....


Shower gell dispenser and sponge? Wash the bits facing away from the
shower head and then turn round. Mind, I use a 1200x800 shower rather
than struggle in a bath.
