Baths and Showers
1. Traditionally in Britain, the bath tub has been used rather than showers or any other method of washing the body. Until quite recently, nearly all British people washed their bodies by sitting in a tub of warm water to wash.
2. Showers are popular.
- Some accommodation in both the private and University-owned sector do not provide showers, only bath-tubs
- If you only have access to a bath tub, you can buy a special attachment for the bath taps (faucets), which comprises a rubber pipe with a shower head at the end. With this you can shower. These are available in many shops, particularly Boots, a chemist shop which can be found in all main shopping areas. Please note, however, these must only be used where a shower curtain has been fitted.
