Re: tell me the positives!
They do need to fix the Android app though. I've yet to get it to work for more than a few seconds.
iOS app after the last update works pretty well though, even with the adverts, but even that crashes every now and again....but it would be nice to have a couple matches on at once...I've given up the tele to the kids or it'd be 3 matches

Re: tell me the positives!
They are? 
Almost all US baths are designed to fit in a 60" long space (between the wall framing measurement), or less, and I have never seen a house with a longer one. Allowing for the lip and the slope of the ends you're lucky to have more than 4' of usable length even in 60" bath, but the big flaw is that most are no deeper than a saucer, about half the depth of a typical British bath, and it is impossible to have a deep bath, but very easy to slosh water over the side.

I've never had a bath, in the UK or the US, where I could fit comfortably length-ways over the age of about 12, and I'm a short-arse ...
Depth-wise, our current bath is acceptable but I'd like to be able to properly stretch out in it, rather than have to bend my knees, or have my feet hanging out in some way.

Agreed.

We just have the bog standard (presumably 5') bath. Does the job, I suppose. I never take a bath to wash, I prefer a shower for that but it is nice to sit in hot water if I feel sick or my back is playing up.

I have been in the US for 32 years and 17 of those in FL.
Whenever I go back to England for a visit I am usually ready to come home after a few days.

about BBC America. It seems a few months ago the channel only aired episodes of Top Gear and little else. Was it just me or did they?!

Granted, I do love me Top Gear but I seem to be the only Brit I know who doesn't think Dr Who is only worth watching if it has Tom Baker in it ...
