No kiddn'? Somebody overflowed the bathtub in one of the upstairs bathrooms in my house and that water immediately soaked right down through the ceiling into the kitchen. It isn't an old house, either. It is one of the new suburban jobs. Thankfully it is the middle of summer, and it wasn't really that much water; but having a drain in the floor would definitely have prevented some minor water damage. Here in the States, I haven't seen any homes with drains in the floor, though most public facilities do.
