Fun poll: If you had to settle for ONLY a bath or ONLY a shower

Which would you opt for? And having a shower installed over the bath or fixing a hand-held shower to the taps on the bath is not an option, (I know technically it is, but in this poll it isn't.) :)

So if you could have a bath ONLY or have a shower ONLY: which would you pick, if you only had those 2 choices?

Just curious after a conversation I had with my pals yesterday.

Thanks for participating. I will be back later to see the results. :)

    Shower! Although I'd miss the option of a bath, washing your hair just isn't the same without a shower. And if I had to choose I'd have the best damn power shower I could buy :)

    I'd go for the bath. It's easy enough to wash your hair using a jug, either over the bath or sink, and I do like a nice long soak with a book.

    Showers (unless the cubicle is quite large) make me feel claustrophobic if I touch the sides every time I move. Even though I'm quite small. And I haven't as yet found a waterproof book.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Bath bath bath bath!

    It is a wonderful treat to be able to soak, have candles and music...

    my guess is that women usually prefer baths and men showers!

    I'm female! I prefer a bath as a treat, but showers are more convenient!

    Shower, if space is at a premium.

    You can share even a small shower, but you need a larger bath... with whirlpool... mmm:kisses2:
