    Thought the following may be of interest to some of you data monkeys!

    "A survey, using innovative technology, has offered an insight into people's showering habits.

    The average shower lasted eight minutes - much longer than previous studies suggested, using almost as much water and energy as the average bath.

    The information was compiled from "data loggers" that recorded 2,600 showers by 100 families over a 10-day period.

    The survey was carried out by producer Unilever, which wanted to find out how people were using their products.

    According to the data, an eight-minute shower used 62 litres of hot water, compared with an average bath's 80 litres."
