    Bath: no doubt. At all. Sair has a monster power shower, at her house, and I am converted to the benefits, but I still prefer the bath.

    Reasons:
    1: Beer gets watery in the shower. So does Gin and tonic. You need a nice drink while relaxing
    2: Relaxing. Having my skin peeled from my body, and being pinned to the end of the tiled wall by the interia from a real shower, whilst invigorating, is tiring. Besides, being quite slim I am in danger of sliding down the plug hole, so IF I take a shower, I have to carry a broom stick or other item loarger than the plug with me so IF I slip, I cant fall down the plug to my death.
    3: One of lifes finest feelingas is the sheer terror of getting your toe stuck in the tap, and then the pure exultation of getting it free again. Ya cant do that (comfortably) in a shower. Ifyou'venot done it I stringly recommend you try. Its lik ethe tidal wave of pleasure you get when you realise you've lost your wallet/purse and then you find it after 15 minutes panic. Its ace.
    4: Baths do better things for your leg muscles. And your back muscles. If you ache, a shower aint worth anything.
    5: Whatsall this about relaxing in a bath and effectively soaking in your own dirt? Drivvel. Utter drivel. if you're that dirty, shower brieflyfirst, but remember how soap works. It holds the oily dirt particles in a kind of suspension. Just cos you havewarm water streaming over your body, and you'r merrily sponging away, doesnt mean you're soaking out all the grime from your skin. You might be LOSING some skin if its a real shower tho.
    6: I rest my case. Showers do not own baths.

    Shower - definitely

    I'm not a hot water person, so there's no point in me taking a bath as its almost cold when i get in.

    Or occasionally its too hot and you do the hot toe thing. You know, where you put one toe in and say "Ooooh Ahhh Ssss" and slowly have to lower yourself in

    Relaxing... Of choice, bath is best! What better after a carp day at work than a lovely soak in a hot bath? And I mean hot!

    If I want to wake meself up though then deffo shower. Although in the summer it's mainly a shower. Cos if I've been hot and sticky all day, nothings better than a nice cold shower... zing!!!!


    But if I had to have one or the other, I couldn't live withouth my hunormous corner bath. Lurrrvley!

    So... option 3 for me, then.

    unless you take a quick shower (under 5 min) then a shower will use more water.
    Esp if you have a power shower.
    I have to have showers (though i prefer the speed of it) Problem is that where i live is
    a new place and they didnt fit a decent size boiler it only has enough for one shower
    really and not a very long one at that.
    Having a bath i think makes you cleaner,If I have a bath i have a quick shower
    after anyway.
