Stupid English Showers!

Stupid English showers and water heaters! Yesterday, I was taking a shower and the hot water ran out from our hot water tank. Hot water tanks in this country are the size of (AmERican) extra large pumpkins. AmERican hot water tanks are the size of minivans. I ran out of hot water in the middle of my shower yesterday and I started yelling and Matt came over and I made him boil water in the kettle, mix it in a big bowl with cold shower water, stand on the toilet seat, lean over into the shower cubicle and pour the water over my head so I could finish my shower. And the sad thing was, that was the nicest, hotest shower I've had since I got to this country. I miss my long, super-hot showers when it's cold outside that I used to have in the States. Appreciate lots of nice hot water while you have it, before soaring petrol prices render even AmERican showers lukewarm and painfully short!
