The prime minister has promised to reset Britain’s relationship with Brussels and rebuild ties with the bloc after years of tension and mistrust under the Conservatives

because the English are special.
I recently went to a place on Dartmoor that my mate is renting, and the thick shag pile carpet went up the side of the bath, let alone around the toilet. It was really not ok
But just think how quickly the carpet dries your feet when you get out of the bath. It’s thick shag, so for extra convenience, you can just roll around on the floor to get dry all over.
I’m sorry, I made myself uncomfortable just thinking that, so I had to share it.
You laugh now, but let’s see who’s laughing when your house burns down because you don’t have a permanently moist bathroom carpet to smother the fire. When I get a break from coughing due to all the mold, I’ll laugh like a maniac!
One of my friends moved to a flat in Greenwich just the other … hmm … ok so it was 25 years ago, but anyway, he proudly showed off his posh flat with carpeted bathroom :D
New houses are well-insulated, but a surprising amount of people live in >100 year old houses. Those are designed to have a fireplace burning cheap wood every night, and insulating them isn’t very straightforward.
We’ll let you back in if you start isolating your houses and get rid of the carpets in the bathrooms. It’s a new century.

I’m from the UK and consider it a crime. It’s not common. Tile it or lino it. Simple.
I haven’t seen a carpeted bathroom in about 30 years, so I think we’re ok on that front!
My wife’s parents have a carpeted bathroom. Fucking animals.
Oh wow. I guess the carpet is easier on your knees or something? Like for smaller livestock? And then the sink is right there.

Was it a dark pink or olive green?
Ha, it was dark pink!
That’s a classic. Another few years and that carpet will get listed status!

Isolating houses?
Ouch, that was embarrassing. Thanks.
*Insulating
Seems to be a false friend in Italian “isolare”
They don’t have insulated houses in the UK? As a Canadian, that just seems nuts to me.
