World In a Nutshell // The United Kingdom

Few weeks ago I came across of a video where a Finnish stand-up comedian Ismo Leikola talked about England and I figured you'd like to hear about it. He says England is a developing country. Don't take it too seriously. 😉
A while I go I visited England for a couple of weeks and I have to say, it's one developing country. I mean, when I went there I didn't even know what's a "mixer". You know, in a bathroom. Well, it's the device that mixes the water. Cold and hot - they don't have it there. "No, no that's way too new. We're not interested of the product."
It has to be hot and cold tap separated and as far from each other as possible. When you go to wash your hands you're like "Ouch! Phew. Ouch! Phew. Ouch!" That doesn't make any sense. And when you think you're finally going to get a shower... The shower, it's not like here. There it's a bizarre-looking burl, a device with flashing lights, liquid crystal display and some fucking microprocessors. I don't know what it was made of but I was frightening as hell. "Is that on mains power? I'm in a shower!"
I don't know but in my opinion it doesn't require information technology to mix hot and cold water. It requires a pipe that's shaped like a god damn Y!
And the toilets! For example the ones in pubs. The door always opens inwards. Also to those booths where you go to take a crap. Yes, I did take a crap in England. Two weeks there, took a crap once. Restaurants did their best to prevent me from doing it even that time. What a constipation food they serve there! But the small booth with it's door opening inwards, why is that? It's really hard to get inside the booth.
A local guy told me. "You stupid. If the lock's broken you can push the door with your other arm." Yeah, that's logic. I don't mind, it's good you've sorted it out. Then I told him that in Finland we have a different solution, the doors open outwards. And if the lock's broken, someone comes and fucking fixes it!
Yup, he's more fun than a barrel full of monkeys.

Hahaha very nice 😁 At least, in Canada, we have those "mixers", but we still have toilet cabin's door that opens inward! XD
Ismo Leikola is one hell of a guy. I'd recommend all Finns to check his videos out on YouTube. They aren't really fun for others (unless they happen due to some weird coincidence understand Finnish).
Seriously if you cant get through a door that opens inwards you really suck. Also if you want a mixer you go B&Q and buy one!
Hmm. Thats strange, I've been in plenty of toilets (public included) that have mixing taps.
That and I dont think that having microprocessors in showers is a sign of a developing country (we have it like that so that we get instant hot water in the showers rahter than having to wait for the boiler to heat a huge tank of water). Pretty rich for a country that started industrialising later than the rest of europe 😛
P.S. He looks like Devin Townsend with a hair transplant.
I found it funny 😃
Also, nobody in EDEN can call us traitors, since they refused to let us join. So we didn't have much choice 🙂
lol good one mate
and guys take the joke and don't get all defensive about it its a joke !
XD so true. The plumbing is often dreadfully evil. In winter it's more like arrgh (scalding) --> arrgh (numbing) and back again.
So true... why don't we have mixer taps? Funny as though - good thing about us Brits is that we can laugh at ourselves.
Hahahaha. Very funny...
