No. Galvanized pipe is what they used to use, and now should either be replaced with modern type of water pipe such as PEX or copper. COMMENT: Complete agreement.

Why does it take ten minutes for the hot water to travel the last 18 inches to your bathroom tap?
Sounds like you have galvanized pipe. Over time deposits, or scale, build up inside these pipes from the minerals present in all tapwater. This build-up narrows the diameter of the pipe to a very few millimeters, thereby restricting water flow. The best solution for this is to re-pipe, as much as you can, with copper piping. Copper does not have a problem with scaling. If that's too expensive re-pipe with galvanized pipe. One way or another, you'll need to do some re-piping to improve your water flow.

Why does hot water work fine but cold water is a trickle?
If you have galvanized pipe in your house, you probably have debris in; your water line, your angle stop (AKA cut off),your supply line to the hot side of the fixture. If I could see it, I could tell you how to fix it. I would suggest calling a plumber. We aren't all a bunch of crooks.
