@jerry 's recent #kitchen #sink #project reminded me of something I've long wondered about.#Bathtubs have #overflow #drains.#Bathroom #sinks mostly seem to have overflow drains.I don't think I've ever seen a kitchen sink with an overflow drain, and I've overflowed a couple in my life as a result.Anyone #know if there's a practical #reason kitchen sinks don't have 'em? Or is it just "always been done that way"?#ModernMystery #why

@cazabon @jerry I don't think I've seen a UK sink *without* an overflow: kitchen or bathroom.

@rbairwell @jerry Interesting. I'm in Canada. Maybe this is just one (more) of those things that the UK and/or Europe do correctly and North America are just a bunch of primitives #hooting around a black #monolith in #ignorance .

@cazabon @rbairwell I am old and I’ll say I don’t ever recall seeing a kitchen sink with an overflow drain. I have not spent much of any time in kitchens outside the US though

@jerry @cazabon @rbairwell Can confirm that in Belgium all kitchen sinks I have seen had overflow drains.
