What is a reasonable length of time for a shower?

They certainly used to have them on camp sites! You bought credits at the camp shop and got a finite amount of time.
Me, Mum & my sister used to take turns, Dad and my brother (he was young enough to actually share) in the other one.

Thing is, it was a luxury. Most Brits didn't have showers in those days, certainly not people who went camping on holiday. And then (as now) the showers at home were never as powerful as the camp ones. Just a shame your sister was outside counting down how much time you has left and you were facing a chilly walk back to the tent...

Yeah, what is it with English showers? The worst shower I ever had in my life was in an apartment in Eaton. The water pressure was barely enough for the water to make it up to the shower head, where it then dribbled out. Are the pipes in England so old they have to dial down the pressure to keep them from rupturing?
