On a slightly different tack, having looked at numerous Right Move,
Zoopla and builders' own descriptions, I am getting heartily sick of
bathrooms without baths! If it only has a shower, let it be a shower
room or dream up some other name, anyone for "indoor rain room"?

Property descriptions in the US have 'half-baths'. Toilet and washbasin,
no bath or shower.


How odd! The name makes me think of those very short baths with two
levels. Why have the word "bath" in there at all? Still, "cloakroom" is
just as ridiculous in most houses.


Difficult to take a bath in a sink, unless you're 2.
