Sink tap conundrum

[silverfoxcc]

This could run for a long time, as it is similar to the Cornwall/Devon Scone Jam /cream debate

Both sinks in the toilet and bathroom are of the single tap design



In this position of the tap with the H opposite the outlet, it supplies cold water

When rotated so the C is opposite the outlet i get Hot water

The question is

Should the H + C indicate what temp is when opposite the outlet

OR

Do they indicate which direction you should turn the tap to get H or C?

Couple of things

No pun intended on using the word 'run'

Also in the pic shown i am getting cold water, so the plumbing inlets should be switched to show C level with the outlet?

On the bath dual tap , the hot is on the let, ( as looking from inside the bath, and Cold is on the right)
