be it kitchen or bathroom,

and you then pull the plug.....

clockwise, or anti clockwise???

Mine didn't swirl in any direction. Just pulled the plug in the bathtub and it filled up with a plastic horse, giraffe and a star fish plus a tooth brush and a bottle of shampoo...lol

It's true, anti-clockwise in the UK..... Moved over here 10 years ago and spent ages watchin the water go down the plug in the opposite direction, it was a marvel!!!! Lol
