This is probably the most frustrating thing for me about Britain. The insistence of clinging to anachronistic designs and customs in the face of obvious superior alternatives, wrapped in an overly precautionary sign that offers little more than legal liability cover.
Just get a mixer tap already.
Not only did they make it the next generation's problem, but they've spent their whole lives making it worse.
Some people seem to be interpreting this as an attempt/first step toward redemption, but that's not it. This is just complicit powers trying to appease their domestic audience while ensuring that nothing interferes with the genocide they're supporting. They're perfectly happy to recognise a state they're working hard to erase.
With the growing popularity of folding bikes and ebikes, it's strange how the process of transporting the folded version remains clumsy and manual.
Imagine a folding bike that when folded, can be towed around like a "wheely suitcase": with the front & back wheels acting as stabilisers and a handle you can drag it around with.
You can cycle to the train, wheel your bike on as if you were boarding a flight, and then cycle to work. No fuss.
Someone please build this!
