taps

"Taps" is a bugle call during flag ceremonies and at military funerals by the United States Armed Forces. The official military version is played by a single bugle or trumpet, although other versions of the tune may be played in other contexts (e.g., the U.S. Marine Corps Ceremonial Music site has recordings of two bugle versions and one band version). It is also performed often at Girl Guide, Girl Scout, and Boy Scout meetings and camps. The tune is also sometimes known as "Butterfield's Lullaby", or by the first line of the lyric, "Day Is Done". The duration may vary to some extent.

    Hi everyone, I would like to know if the basin in the bathroom has single taps and the hot tap always delivers warm water (not scorching hot) regardless of how high the DHW is set at what would be the reason for that? Also do hotels and gyms have the hot water set at a specific setting if so...

    Kitchen mixer taps (lifespan/brands/prices/variants)

    My kitchen mixer tap (Franke Zurich) has developed a drip. Presumably the cartridge (hot) has started to wear out. It is one that I replaced about 3 and half yrs ago for the same reason (not sure how old its predecessor was as we inherited it). Doesn't seem a particularly great lifespan, but I'm...

    Water pressure issue, sometimes results in our taps `sucking`

    We live in a row of 4 terrace houses running perpendicular to a main road, we are the end terrace furthest from the road.

    Can a dripping tap be too old to fix

    I have an old cast iron bath, the kind with feet, and old taps attached, one of which is dripping. I’m not sure how old it is but it was there when I bought the flat 20 years ago and I imagine it’s at least 40-60 years old as the flat doesn’t look like it’s had any work done since then, and the...
