Can anyone tell me why back in days gone by did people fit a small rubber attachment/hose to the kitchen tap?

Googles but cant find anything

Gins,
Those little rubber attachments were to direct the water to where people wanted the water to go either straight into a bowl of hot water or to clean the soap suds from the sides of the sink.

I have still got one but don't use it any more.

I think it made the water flow streamlined so there was less splash back and spluttering when the tap was turned on.

I remember attaching a double-ended rubber tube to the bath taps to act as a shower & very handy too for washing the hair on a Friday evening before going to the 'Hop' at the local dance hall.

No need now for such a contraption or a comb either since I resemble Homer Simpson more than Bobby Charlton in the 'head' department - if you get my drift.

In the older days a tap was a tap,

not a designer water outlet!

C`mon Bob you`re not that naïve, you`re a motorist.

You must have seen the "swivel" sign a driver gives you when you pip your horn at them for failing to use indicators or not pulling off quick enough at traffic lights. :-D

Dermot matey, the "Topic" was answered and over and done with.
Being as this is a Chat board surely we are entitled to carry on chatting? :-D

But, if Gins so wishes, I will delete all my comments, no probs.






Ps; Dermot I know full well you`re not nit-picking matey :-D :-D :-D
