Downstairs my hot tap is on the left. Currently in the bathroom it's on the right but when I change the wash basin should I change it or not? I thought it had to be on the left.

us timed served proper Plumbers were taught that the hot tap was furthest away from being able to reach it to stop children turning on and scalding etc.

I was always taught cold on the right as most people are right-handed.... and the cold pipe normally has more pressure so in most cases you are using your stronger hand to turn off the stonger pressure?!! .... anyone else heard of this?
Certainly we pipe with the cold on the right unless all the other taps in the house/room are reversed.
Reg in scotland going back to at least the fifties was hot left cold right ,reason being for blind people and like vast majority of population back then they where right handed.
