OLD HABITS DIE HARD

During a visit to the Continent in 1942, Winston Churchill discovered a marvel of modern
technology: hot and cold water flowing from the same tap. The plumbing in the villa where
he stayed was different from the British standard of separate taps for hot and cold water.
5.1. _____ From then on, Churchill wanted to use this tap arrangement whenever possible.
His countrymen, however, have been slow to adopt single taps. Decades after nearly all dual
taps vanished from the U.S. and continental Europe, most bathroom sinks in Britain still have
separate hot and cold taps. 5.2. _____ Among them are legal rules which regulated this
issue in the past. Hot and cold water flowed from separate sources – the cold water came
from the public water supply and was fit for human consumption, whereas the hot water was
stored in a cistern which people kept in the lofts of their houses. 5.3. _____ To eliminate the
danger it posed, the law on clean drinking water went as far as to say that the pipes had to
be separated to avoid cross-contamination.
Over the years most modern British houses have moved away from keeping a cistern in the
loft. 5.4. _____ Britons do not seem to understand why foreigners make a fuss over this
issue. “The British are quite happy to wash their hands with cold water. Maybe it’s character-
building,” says Mr. Simon Kirby from the Midlands. 5.5. _____ In a rare compromise with
authenticity, the company does provide some sinks with mixer taps, but they are sold mainly
to overseas customers.
Modernity is slow in imposing itself. British people who travel abroad are often impressed by
single taps, but even when they renovate their homes, many choose two-tap systems.

D. A member of Parliament congratulated “the higher civilizations” on their advanced technology, but argued that having the choice of either hot or cold water does not make you waste water.
E. Yet old habits die hard and separate taps in Britain will continue to annoy overseas visitors for many years to come.
