Except the water faucets (“taps”) come in pairs, one with cold water and one with hot. So, not so much like going into the future, but more like some primitive land too stubborn to change for the better in even the most straightforward, obvious ways. 😆
In a lot of UK homes cold water comes directly from the mains supply and hot water comes from a local storage cistern, which is normally kept in the attic. They use separate pipes and taps to avoid fresh “drinking” water being contaminated by non-fresh “washing” water.
That plumbing set up was common during the 1940s-50s, when a lot of UK houses were built due to the post-war economic boom. My older home doesn’t use this system and I have mixer taps in both my kitchen and bathroom and recent builds don’t use it either but some people prefer separate taps as it’s what they’re used to.
Yea, get the shit bombed out of you. Then you’ll lose everything and your government will have no option but to finally get off their arse and publically fund healthcare to avoid their remaining workforce dying out.
I have half a recollection from a misremembered primary school history class that that also coincided with the end of wwii. I bet that was part of the magic spell
Visiting the UK is like going into the future. That’s because I’m American and we’ll be a washed up hegemon soon.
P.S. I can’t help but notice that you lost your empire around the same time you got healthcare. Is there a way to learn this power?

I’m not entirely convinced they don’t want us poors to die off. Otherwise we’d have an actual healthcare system in the US.
