Читать книгу We’re British, Innit: An Irreverent A to Z of All Things British - Iain Aitch - Страница 9

One thing that we took from the Roman invasion was the enjoyment of baths, so much so that a home is now considered incomplete without one. Showers are all very well to use on a holiday abroad, but our economy relies upon the vast range of products we use to spice up the time we spend wallowing in our own filth and dead skin, from bath salts and bubble bath to scented candles and portable radios. Many Brits feel so at home in the bath they choose to end their life in it, often committing suicide upon hearing their football team’s result on the radio or after calculating how much in debt they are due to all the money they have spent on scented candles and bath oils.
