Don't tell me you still use the kind you shove on the bath tap? We have electric showers in the UK now.

You could probably find one of those on ebay but I haven't seen any for
30 years.

I was referring to the rubber hoses with a cone at the end meant for
shoving onto the tap. I would hunt to see if they are still for sale
but I don't know what they are called. They would still be useful for
washing a dog in the bathtub.

I sell them. They're handy for someone who only has a bath and doesn't want to spend much on fitting a shower. They only cost £10.

They have permanently attached hand-held sprayers with metal hoses that
some people must like for some reason, maybe women so they can avoid
getting their hair wet, but I think they are inconvenient.

I have an electric shower on the wall, attached to a 3 foot pole, I can lower it below head height if I want to wash my body but not my head.
