Having successfully avoided having to write a blog since i joined the bathshop321.com team, finally, today though my luck has run out and i have to write one.

Naturally, to blog about, i chose my favourite subject in the entire world – showers, but am under strict orders that i cannot write about them in my usual terms so i have been banned from writing about high copper contents, sequential valves, back plate elbows and thermostatic cartridges and am also under instructions that i must make it interesting.

My arguments that slide rail kits and different grades of brass are interesting were met with yawns, insults and even the questioning of my parentage so how to make it relevant? A challenge indeed.

I decided to hold a competition to decide what the best shower in the world would be and that this would make a great idea for blogging whilst also being informative.

Apparantly though, according to the rest of the bathshop321 team deciding the best shower in the world is not done by looking at price, ease of installation, flow rates etc but by holding a contest.

 I thought initially i could go down a Miss (shower) World route and host my very own beauty contest with each shower representing the country of their origin but when it became apparent that China and Italy were over represented then the format had to be changed. 

Next idea to be dismissed was to go down a strictly come showering route with all of its inbuilt double entendre’s and cheap jokes this seemed like a blog writers dream but sadly somebody planted the seed of brucey showering in the minds of one of our team and he refused to carry on helping with the devising of the rules of our contest.

Big shower was the next idea up but we couldn’t decide on how the eviction process would work so this fell by the wayside.

Britains got showers, I’m a shower, get into here and Britain’s next top shower all resulted in lively debate but again were dismissed.

It was then pointed out that a contest to determine the best shower in the world was too far fetched and that a contest to determine who had the best shower of the bathshop321 team members would be easier to determine but we were still left with how to actually do this.

Then, like a boltof lightning, the idea came,as soon as the idea was suggested on how to decide the best shower amongst the team there was only ever going to one winner in our shower competiton, a unanimous decision, drumroll please................

Come shower with me

Drag your minds out of the gutter, here’s how its going to work - Its going to be 5 days, 5 showers, 5 team members all competing to win a £1 prize.

 The remainder of the day was lost though as this resulted in a conversation along the lines of if you had a walk in shower who would you have in there with you and at that point all work for the afternoon ceased, the chatter stopped and we all fell into deep thought.

Come Shower with me starts tomorrow, stay tuned to the blog for results.......
