[Blinks] Hey, yeah ...

:) Actually, I think brits would compromise on "tepid" as far as showers go. I reminds be of the heinous trick employed by some hotel owners: there's plenty of hot water, just loads ... it's the cold water that's regulated down to a drip. Makes you feel like filling the bath with scalding water, then going down to the pub while it cools down enough not to denaturate your eyeballs.
