I've plumbed everything here for hot on the left and cold on the right . .
. with the exception of a single lever mixer tap which I can never
remember which way to turn.

I've had a look at our taps. The bath says Hot and Cold in black on white,
they're very old. The bathroom sink is red on the left and blank on the
right, the bit of plastic having fallen out. The kitchen taps are swan
necked lab taps, with the controls facing to the side so I had to look
carefully. The hot is red, the cold is green.

All the hots are on the left, all the cold are on the right, as I'd expect.
I thought it was the standard.

Why do we need to read what's on the control? Surely it becomes habit?
