Maybe you could learn to read - I said use the toilet on a train/plane etc. not shower.

The phrase pork pie short of a picnic springs to mind :eek:

Better NOT to feed TROLLS.
Trolls have nothing to do in life butto stay "cyber" and hijack others' threads.

Personally, I would never go to "no shower" hotel. You don't take shower in train or plane or restaurant. However there are too many pigs aboard the planes. and too many pigs everywhere.


Honest people don't hide their deeds.

Arrogance is a "time filler" job.

Pigs are very clean animals.

People survived for decades with baths and no showers without any ill effects. In fact I grew up in a household that only had a bath and lived to tell the tale. In Japan families share baths and you even get bathing houses in Japan where strangers share bathing facilities.

Edit: renting somewhere without a shower would put me off though. Not because of any hygiene reason but because of convenience.

OP: have you thought about hygiene and your own personal health. Leave aside the lodger, the monthly charge and all that, how can you share the same bath with stranger or even relaive, regardlless of the standard of cleanng etc?

are you afraid of the OP catching green fungus

EverGreen, are you from outside the UK? I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just asking.

To answer your question, according to one of the OP's previous posts, they were born in Egypt

Having grown up in Hemel and looked at renting rooms there approx 3 years ago, I think you are undercharging, it was in excess of 400pcm back then unless u wanted to be in the furthest corner of hemel in a not so nice location. Set the rate to 500pcm and it will get snapped up, and will still be a bargain for them! Think 550-600 is probably the ceiling price as Apsley is a smaller station with slower trains to London.
From my point of view, I'd want a shower, but mainly to wash hair. A combination bath/shower tap is fine though if you don't want to install a wall mounted one.
Good luck with getting a lodger

Thanks, that all makes sense! Having done a bit more research I can see I may have been thinking too low a price. And yeah, think I may definitely consider the combination bath/shower tap to be honest.

Fungi (green or red or yellow) are one of the most contaminating bugs is places like baths, hospitals etc. Fungi are the most resistant to treatment.
In UK hospitals, have you noticed that the playing rooms and shared toys are now restricted?
Arghhhhh, am I feeding trolls again !

I can understand why some people would prefer a shower for convenience reasons as it's probably a lot quicker than running a bath. However for those worried about hygiene, as many people have already stated, at some point or another 99% of people either grew up in a family using a shared bathroom, have used friends/relatives/hotel bathrooms etc so I don't see the major difference here. I'm a very clean person anyway and I clean the bath after using it every time anyway regardless of having a lodger as it's just common sense, right?
Having said that I may just get the combination bath/shower taps put on then as thats slightly better I guess in the mean time and see how it goes unless it became a major issue.

I was only asking in regards to the fact that I am looking to rent the room for 350pcm and wondered if the lack of a shower would bring the price down. But having done a bit more research and most peoples responses looks like I'm actually underpricing if anything.
But thanks anyway !

If people who have lived like that scaped the risk, good luck.
People were living and sharing in the middle of TB outbreak/ and potato famine in Europe. I am sure some people, like those trolls, had come out that period of time to resist calls for Hygiene and TB risk. People (of Haemophilia for example) received blood transfusion (till recent years) without knowing the risk. They caught HIV and Hepatitis C. People everywhere used the glass syringes (boiled and resused). Decades later the origin of some serious diseases were related to those glass syringes eg Hepatitis B and C. Could someone come forward and argue "why do we need the disposable plastic syringe. We have used the glass ones and we are perfectly healthy".


This is a hygiene and health matter ? NOT OCD
