BQ Nick Lowe Cruel To Be Kind
WHY is the cold on the right & hot on the left? When indoor plumbing was first introduced, there was one option that came out of the hand pump: cold water. There was no hot water. Since the majority of people are right-handed, the pump was placed on the right side of the sink. The logic for keeping the cold/right, hot/left placement – is to avoid surprises. We tend to reach for the right side first and by having the cold there, it helps to avoid accidental scalding
