Shower Curtain

In our 4 bedroom terraced house in Twerton, Bath, we are furnished with a water closet featuring a bath, a shower, a sink, a toilet, a bin and the boiler which is mounted to a wall and enclosed within a wooden cupboard. The bathroom is great for getting clean, and getting rid of the waste our bodies produce; as well as more aesthetic uses such as shaving, cleaning teeth or moisturising.

According to Wikipedia, a Wet Room is a shower within a bathroom with a barrier-free floor, and normally waterproof, with a foul air trap connecting the floor to the waste pipes.

Our bathroom is not one of these, use the fucking shower curtain.

Apparently the biggest manufacturer of "Hi-tech toilets" is a japanese firm entitled TOTO. Interesting innovations include:

The "Portable Washlet", Toto's portable hand-held bottom washer...

Artificial flush sounds, to mask noises such as body functions....

Urine and stool analysis, for medical monitoring. Matsushita's "Smart Toilet" checks blood pressure, temperature, and blood sugar.....

Digital clock, to monitor time spent in the bathroom...

Ridiculous.
