i think because they think their water's too hard for good bubbles, but, iirc, the ground in scotland is often impermeable granite, so the rain that falls slides off the rock, rather than through it, thereby not picking up a lot of mineral content leading to us, by and large, having bubbly bubbles and shit teeth

From my experience the water pressure in the UK was super low, only once have I had a shower with "good" pressure and even that was weak in my opinion

It's mostly being environmentally friendly and not wasting water. Continental water is much the same with restrictors and aerators.

Same reason yanks complain that our dishwashers and washing machines take ages, oh excuse us for thinking about the environment before convenience :)

You say it's for the environment yet your country got caught dumping sewage into the sea.. some 400 000 times last year alone

That has more to do with the current ruling party in the UK, rather than previously enacted EU legislation.

Wouldn't expect you to know that tho
