      Where else would you put it?

      British houses typically don’t have a utility room. We don’t really have the space.

      Typical house you see on USA TV is massive by UK standards. A house like that here wouldn’t be affordable to most folk.

        Don’t worry. Houses like that aren’t affordable to most folk in the US anymore either. At least for anyone that doesn’t already have one.

      I’ve seen it around Europe, my only guess is that there’s already plumbing there, and European houses are much smaller than American ones so space is at a premium.
