On a related note.... my brother and his wife remodelled their bathroom
a few years ago. SiL, in consultation with her friend who apparently has
exquisite taste, select a rectangular sink with a flat bottom. What a
useless design for a sink. It must be one of those "for company" sinks
that you aren't supposed to wash in if you hands are dirty because the
dirt does not drain. It just sort of sits there while the water sort of
flows toward the drain. Sinks should be sloped.
