In our defence, most of that is legacy from the post war rebuild (copper shortages etc). The modern regs are comparable or better than a lot of places.
There’s enough of the dodgy stuff around that it needs to be accounted for, but it’s being phased out as new stuff it built or renovated.
No, it’s usually buried in the wall behind the plasterboard. Although it is possible to use surface trunking.
It’s quicker and therefore cheaper to use trunking with less making good afterwards
It was a joke on UK putting water pipes on the outside of their houses.
Making them sometimes freeze and burst in the winter, but it’s easier to repair. 😋
Well duh, they freeze and burst in winter so they obviously need to be outside for easier repair! Think of the mess they would make if they were inside the walls.
A lot of dodgey wiring.

Hmm the only water pipes I’ve ever seen outside are for the garden hose 🤔

Absolutely, it’s not the UK that are crazy, it’s everybody else.
