My grandparents had a 2 holer. Their kitchen faucet was newer. But there was only cold water, if you wanted hot, you put it on the stove. That was the only indoor plumbing. Once a week (Friday) we went to the hot springs for a bath.

ISOIR when gasoline pumps had only Cents (and the decimal, usually .9) - because certainly there was never going to be gas costing $1 [or choose other currency] per unit [gallon in USA, liter elsewhere]...right??

There was some angst about having to replace or retrofit all of the pumps so that they could read out dollar (or £, etc.) amounts.
