Are these taps turning the correct way? (Photo)

What a bunch of [redacted].

I've changed taps here, replumbed the entire central heating system along with the hot water pipes. Never, ever had flooding. Water has escaped on a couple of occasions, but this was always contained. The nearest I've got to a "flood" is a solder joint springing a leak - Wrapped a cloth round it and slipped a small tray underneath which stopped the water going everywhere while the system was drained down.

But still you got your H and C mixed up :-)

Nope. They've always been that way round. I'm not going to change them now just because some random on the internet says it's wrong

Who are you calling 'random'!
My bro, who has built all his own houses, six in total, I think, fitted the taps the wrang way 'roon in the first, and then stubbornly refused to change for all the others
