Home sweet home... Typical English houses

What could I say about English houses I have seen so far?
Architecture is part of the culture as well as a "house's features"... some features can be really surprising ;)

From the outside
 they all look alike :)
Manchester has many houses with red bricks.
Usually, there are blocks of house all glued to each other built according to the same organisation plan, with one or 3 floors and a small courtyard behind.

From the inside

all the doors are "Fire" doors and close automatically (really annoying but I use this thing below).

In the bathroom, washing your hands can be a real challenge

The shower is usually a box where you can adjust the temperature and pressure. Well not in my student residence where you can adjust only the temperature and have to be lucky with the pressure which goes up and down...

In the kitchen, well you cannot eat properly, (the typical English person DOESN'T eat) as there is no table (valid in my hall of residence but also in all the houses I have been) but sometime there are very high seats to eat half bent over as if you were a piece of paper folded...
[But I am an engineer, look how I found a table for free :]

If ever you have to stay in England for more than a holiday, be mentally prepared to that...
