Is there any use for Baths these days?

For one thing, baths just seem like a massive waste of space... I mean come on, when was the last time you had a bath? For me, it was when I was 10 or 11 I think... a shower is not only way more efficient but you don't get to lye in your own filth! You can get so much more space in any bathroom without the bloody bath that is never used!


Have baths in houses & apartments had their day?

I have the odd bath when in a hotel. Just feels relaxing.

In my home, its rarely used and kind of a waste of space.

Love a bath! one of the few times I stop being 'mammy' and just do nothing while in complete control of the environment.

Really handy for treatments for lower body issues/growth and icing delicate groinal areas easily.

Can the children not just have a shower

They're good as a treat in a hotel

Yes, the kids use the bath most. They hate the shower as cant play in it.

And sometimes after a hard days manual labour a big long soak in a radox bath is your only man. But ya have to rinse yourself afters...
And lets not even start on the Lush bath bombs....great craic/

Quick shower to get clean > Shave etc. while filling bath > Get in.

I find a bath handy when i fancy a bath. Otherwise it's just messy with water damage etc.

It’s a lot harder to get children clean in a shower compared to a bath.

I still enjoy an occasional bath. A quick shower first so I'm nice and clean getting in, very hot water to cut the bollocks off me, a few candles heating some eucalyptus oil and an audiobook to chill out to.

It's the only chance to prove your own farts are real.

sigh, your missing a treat op. not only can you pamper yourself with a long soak while listening to some soothing music, but you can also take the opportunity to bathe your other half for a bit of romance.

occasionally the romance doesn't make it out of the bath

have a little more fun in your life, you will be a long time dead.

Aye, but it's like making sweet sweet love to an inflated* balloon.

Very important to have a bath. When the water is gone in the big winter freezes you have your bath full of water to flush the toilet for a few days!

A hot bath is the best pain relief there is. A shower is nasty hot rain.

Big fan of a Cadbury Flake now and again so the bath is a necessity.
Not sure how else you'd eat them to be honest.

Me an' my uncle Cletus makes moonshine in ours.
Ol' granny fergets sometimes and takes a bath in it. That don't do no harm though, folks round these parts say that's whut gives it its special flavour.

Where would you wash the dog or the duvets?

And remember, all the tornado safety literature suggests you hide in the bath if you don't have a basement and a tornado is imminent.

Ray Palmer

When I was looking to buy a house visited a family house there was no bath and loads of people were put off and mentioned. I bought the house and put in a bath at very little cost nor difficulty. The main reason was the wife but it makes it much easier to wash the dogs.

I'd say there was about €15k knocked off the house price due to the lack of bath
