Australian Bathtub Pet Peeve

I have a rant.    I am sorry if anyone gets offended!    But really....... you can seen the lovely bathtub scenes in American movies.   Where the taps are on the feet or head end of the tub.    So why and I know not all Australian tubs are built like this but all the houses I have been in or visited do have them built with the facet in the middle!!!!
This above photo results from having it in the middle.     Those facets bite and hard.   The reason the facets are at the feet end is when you are feeling low  (too much Christmas drinks ) and you just want to roll to your side and place your big head on the cool bathtub surface you will not have the tube bite you in the @$$###(^*%&*!!!!    Granted it did make me forget my big head for a few minutes while I was sucking in my breath from the pain.
