Brit plumbing is completely different from American stuff, and Brit culture is to be much more conservative with utilities. This leads to crap showers, unless you pay a fair whack for an electric one.

Water pressure is mostly derived through natural gravity and is generally much lower than here, or at least seems to be by the time it makes it out of the tap (faucet). The good side of that is power cuts don't mean your water is unsafe to drink. the bad side is that the showers are crap. Those who do store hot water have tiny tanks upstairs (not in the basement, it'd never make it upstairs and most houses don't have basements....)

On the plus side, at least Brits have reasonable sized bath tubs, ones you can really lounge about and have sex in without accidentally inserting something up the tap

However, I am a shower person and I think that would be one of the hardest things to deal with if we ever had to move back.
