Counterpoint to this: I go away with work and will often be in the pub by myself for dinner and some drinks (no problem with this, I'm ok with my own company), ordering on an app/QR means I don't have to worry about someone taking my table while I go to the bar.

2 reasons spring to mind:
1 - you're not allowed/supposed to have 13A 240V outlets in a bathroom (not quite as black/white as that, but nearly)
2 - quite a few houses still had outside toilets with no power or space when washing machines became affordable, so the kitchen was the logical place

Why have they installed cooling ducts in a bonnet that doesn't cover an internal combustion engine?

One glorious day, in July last year, I completed the challenge "Laundry". The washing basket was empty, and apart from what we were wearing, all the clothes were clean.
It was a brief triumph.

That might have something of an impact on the birth rate, given most (not all, granted) people like some privacy when they are doing 'it'.
Also I don't want to wake up at 4.30 when the sun rises in June!

A mate once went into a detailed explanation of his idea for LEDs to be mounted inside the toilet bowl for guidance to avoid having to turn the light on during nocturnal pisses.
The look of "oh, yeah..." on his face when I pointed out the sitting down option was a picture.

My birthday is in the Merryneum, and anyone trying the "joint xmas and birthday" scam gets very short shrift.
It's not my fault when I was born, wait until I give you your "joint" present in June...

Our concealed element kettle broke, so I dug out the old exposed element type one we take camping. It's a lot quieter, not silent, but much less noisy than the modern one.

I'm just turned 58, and a few years ago when asked for an IP address range for a new project at work, gave them 10.69.0.0 solely for the schoolboy comedy value of '69'.
