The aesthetically awful way in which they connect heated towel rails in NZ.
I saw a beautifully designed towel rail today with the same hideous bit of white cable hanging out of the bottom. Why on earth they cannot use hidden fixings and cables like they do elsewhere in the world, I have no idea.

If you pay a fortune you can get that, but it seems we are a nation of budget builders.

Considering how expensive 'budget' can be, I'm not surprised.

Id have thought that towel rails would have two options, hidden and exposed. One for new builds or renos and one for an after-fix
Geektastic: You would think that. I suspect it’s the electricians being lazy rather than the product.
Looks like it, googled one, "Concealed or exposed wire options with left or right cord entry."

This is the bathroom in our new house. The towel rail is a radiator (the neat, concealed connections for the hot water are shown with orange arrows) and an electric one for the summer - the hideous electrical connection shown with the red arrow.
Impossible to correct neatly because the bathroom is fully tiled on the walls. 🤬
And what it should have looked like...
Having one bathroom. Very annoying.

"Greenwashing". Companies like Apple that say the environment is really important, and then ship a 50 cm cable from Sydney.

How would it be greener if they shipped it to NZ first?
Surely they are still sending it the same distance, just at different times.
A bulk package would likely be lighter and use less space than, say, 50 separate addressed boxes. This leaves more space on the plane for other stuff and therefore fewer planes used overall.
Whether that actually happens in real life is another story entirely, but Amazon seems to think it's a good idea.
I would imagine there are more overheads in shipping a single item than a bulk container.
