    We’ll let you back in if you start isolating (ed: insulating ofc) your houses and get rid of the carpets in the bathrooms. It’s a new century.

      I haven’t seen a carpeted bathroom in about 30 years, so I think we’re ok on that front!

        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!

              That’s a classic. Another few years and that carpet will get listed status!

          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.

      also the Euro and, if you’re in, you’re also in Schengen. No more precious hour-long security queues at any railway station having cross-Channel services because the English are special.

      I’m from the UK and consider it a crime. It’s not common. Tile it or lino it. Simple.

        *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.

            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.

      Carpets in bathrooms is disgusting.

      Isolating houses? You meant insulate?
