Well, not always. A lot of people have impaired sensitivity in their
feet due to nerve damage; long-term diabetics and heavy smokers
amongst others. Scalding is a real possibility for them. Prescott is
diabetic; Princess Margaret was a very heavy smoker.


If you have that problem, you'd use a thermometer.

A homeless drunk stopped and mumbled, "If you're about to kill yourself, how about a shag before you go?"
The woman was angry and said, "No! **** off you filthy old *******!"
The tramp turned to leave and said, "No problem, I'll just go and wait at the bottom then."

How stupid do you have to be to get into a bath that's too hot? When
you toe hits the water, you simply say ouch, remove your toe, and add
cold water.

Not true, actually. Elderly / disabled people with poor senses
regularly
burn themselves seriously.

In what year was the thermometer invented?

Trouble is that they may well only realise they need one after
they have just scalded themselves and ended up in hospital.


Who would not realise they have no sense of temperature?


Someone with Alzheimer's, someone with peripheral nerve
damage that hasn't noticed that their feet don't have any
temperature sensing anymore. Little kids who don't have
a clue about what can scald you.


All of who would be looked after by someone else, except kids who simply aren't that stupid.

How stupid do you have to be to get into a bath that's too hot? When
you toe hits the water, you simply say ouch, remove your toe, and add
cold water.

You are a true sociopath. What bit about:

"Every year, 600 people are seriously injured in scalding baths and 20
people die from their injuries," says Sarah Colles, home safety adviser
for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. "Most affected
are small children and elderly people in care homes"

don't you understand, where a simple temperature operated valve could
save so much pain and suffering.

Why would I care about pain and suffering of blithering idiots?

e.g. an 'idiot' - your word, not mine who could be suffering from
Alzheimers who is in the care of overworked carers. What is best?
punish the carers when they make a mistake ot fit a temperatutre
regilating valve so that the mistake cannot be made?


It's not difficult for a carer to put their hand in the water first.


That assumes that the carer has even noticed
that the individual has decided to have a bath.


My heart bleeds.

those that died or badly scolded were largely vulnerable people who were
unable to remove themselves quickly from pain or death.
