Fairer Faucet

In the interests of [brevity] : A mixer tap/faucet, whose default position is cold.

For those who, like myself, have no interest in brevity ( although if I displayed no interest in brevity the previous paragraph would not exist) a faucet/tap whose default position (i.e. control lever centered both vertically and horizontally on the spout) is cold.

Pre-amble: The renovations to my abode are complete. We have achieved this in a record five (calender) months. Unlike the [wagster]s of the world we have not conceived, before, during, or after the process. Praise be to god on that one. One of the curioius anomalies of the "new" house is the ubiquitous existance of mixer-type taps. A product of my wife's arthritic condition and my small children.

Amble: The mixer type tap regulates rate of flow in the vertical direction, and regulates mix (cold and hot) in the horizontal direction. The current most used position (mixer lever (vertical, horizontal) at (1,0)) is tepid water at maximal flow. Most owners of said mixers are as unconscious as I. Of the fact that they place a load on their geysers every time they position the lever (and therefore rate of flow) in the maximal vertical direction (obviously looking for flow as opposed to temperature) to simply wash their hands. Leaving the control lever in the cold position after every wash is an untenable situation, for you will always return to your mixer type tap in its chrome impression of Marshall Mathers (baseball cap askew).

To this end I propose that all mixer type taps/faucets have, as their resting point, (0,0) and as their maximal flow point vertically above the resting point (1,0) a purely cold tap with maximal flow. Mechanically this is mandane, bordering on trivial, to execute. The bunny-huggers may sleep in peace. Your C12 footprint might shrink. Those with colour deficient vision at last know that fucking center is cold and to each side it gets hot, instead of fucking guessing.
