Bathing etiquette lands a reader in hot water
SIR – The letter from John Roberts (May 25) on the merits of showers over baths emboldens me to ask your readers to help settle a family argument.
Which is more degenerate: shaving in the bath, or turning the taps on and off with your toes? Charles Owen

SIR – Reading a paperback in a nice warm bath carries its risks should one nod off, but any attempt to do the same in a shower is doomed to a very soggy failure.

SIR – In advocating taking a shower rather than a bath, John Roberts says that with a shower you don’t go wrinkly.
This information would have been of more use to me if I wasn’t already wrinkly to start with.
