Hmm, it might be time that I wake up and make you share other aspects of Irish culture as promised.
So today I propose to explore one of the most annoying when it decides to spend some time here, namely the relationship of Irish society deal with the plumbing.
And yes, unfortunately, because junk food is not the only legacy left such a legacy degenerative several years of occupation by Anglo-Saxon.
Indeed, whether in your home, in the last great chic restaurant or pub where you get your sustenance of beer everywhere when you wash your hands you will find yourself facing one of the worst crétinités that humanity can give me to contemplate:
The double tap!
(from which derives the metaphysical concept of "duality liquid thermometry opposite)
note, I'm not talking about two ordinary tap water hot / cold water, no no, the thing would have only very limited interest.
I speak of two separate valve, one connected to a pocket of magma underground, the other a polar glacier you can choose between a full hot water at 99 ° (because beyond what would be the steam) and cold water to about 3 ° (to avoid ending up with ice cubes on the fingers).
But this inconvenience would not be optimal if not associated with a design maximizing the nuisance: Count
usually taps the farthest possible from each other, in order to avoid any crazy idea like that to try to merge the two streams and ... Engineering human
plumbing if any, a space of about 1 cm from the edge of the sink and the programmed path of the water, forcing you to stick your hands against the wall as the sink often chipped .
Yes, even with my hands Lilliputians is annoying, which I know will see the huge (if I allow me) situation.
I still have to make a survey of the Japanese community to confirm the statement, but I bec that for them it also creates an inconvenience.
count also on the ins and random pub pronounced sadism which combine these taps buttons to press for action no life.
Tap, lift your finger, it's over!
This therefore requires the following process:
- Keep your first-hand soap on the push button while the second is burned / ice (optional) and secondarily rinsed
- Répétez l'opération en procédant à une alternance des mains
Problème, entretemps le robinet a été enduit de savon (et oui),
- Répétez donc l'opération jusqu'à état acceptable de votre nettoyage et passez quelques minutes supplémentaires au sèche-mains (ou essuyez-vous sur votre jean si vous êtes pressé)
Ce double système de robinet pourrait presque se laisser oublier toutefois s'il n'était pas confronté quotidiennement à sa propre incohérence.
En effet le concept de mélanger l'eau chaude et l'eau froide n'est pas inconnu en Irlande puisqu'il existe pour la douche et tenez-vous bien dans the kitchen sink!
(Where everyone will measure the importance of having a perfectly warm water for culinary uses current)
But be careful, however, the first item, for indeed, if the shower mixer is happily entered the customs, the Irish man he had to add a small complement of insanity in order to differentiate themselves from ordinary mortals. Of common sense on this one.
At first it as a hint that you put into the account of an English poorly trained and probably still be improved, that rises when you read ads that apartment.
And unfortunately no, la réalité est aussi horrible qu'imaginée, une fois confronté à l'appareil vous ne pouvez plus nier l'existence :
Les irlandais ont bel et bien, et en sont de surcroit fiers, des douches électriques !
Oui oui, vous avez bien lu.
C'est comme une douche, mais en électrique, avec des boutons et tout.
Alors, oui, je sais, de premier abord vous vous dites, tiens, de l'eau et de l'électricité, c'est complètement con vu que c'est hyper dangereux.
Et vous avez raison de surcroit !
Alors oui, nous autres français sommes tous plus sensibles à ce genre de danger, notamment pour cause de traumatisme disco-nécrologique.
Well, I'll spare you the details on the sound of the infernal machine, practice at least since the garden to see if anyone is in the bathroom ... or the neighbors.
So if you start an initial discussion with the native on the subject, it will always return to the same discussion "Ah bein yes, but otherwise there was no pressure in the pipes!"
Oh yes, yes ... the famous non-existent pressure pipe ...
Yes, because he should know that to encourage the Irish to drink water from time to time, history, water is free here. Good shot
recess notions of repair a water leak and economy with flush dual flush here are much more limited.
But suddenly, in return for free, the system is necessarily a bit more failure.
Well, in France it was the opposite of the water companies that provide a good start and in return try to cheat us with assurances that they desperately want to subscribe to naked country if their pipes were to fart (true! and I suppose that taking entubale works great with a large proportion of the population)
How, an example of pressure, whether it is really that bad?
So how you say. There are times, opening the kitchen tap, I could sometimes wait 4 minutes to get water.
Between that and the weather, I understand the craze for Irish paris.
remains one last point I would like to present, history of making the tour of local achievements in e piping.
Indeed, there is a large majority of European pâmera ecstasy for a visible beam (as well as architectural body), people here were more accustomed to the exposed piping.
So at first it feels lousy all the pipes outside the house, but with time ... bein frankly it's still ugly though.
And that poses some drawbacks just in case of frost, something which fortunately happens very rarely.
As this year for example.
Cold Wave unpublished exceptional weather elements (snow what) and temperature below zero fateful.
Most pipes have all ordnance.
The reaction of public authorities has been immediate:
"Above all let the tap"
Goodies!
Obviously this has just exacerbated the situation because everyone has vacated the water tanks that supply was not guaranteed.
balance, about ten days with constant water shortages, hygiene deteriorated a bit and the prohibition of eating food with digestive catastrophic consequences.
That here I think I did a little tour of the comprehensive situation.
soon for other subjects of study!
