Well most of the time with brief interludes of looking at models hopefully. Ah the Joy' of outside toilets the access to ours was through the back door in the Kitchen. The bath was in the Kitchen. If Mum was in the bath it was a half mile trek from the front door and round the block to the back. If the Thames was flooding it was no go. When we moved to the Wenlock edge in the 70s none of the row had an inside toilet. They were all the other side of a shared drive along the back. Our Neighbour Alf would cross back tucking his shirt in and pulling up braces. Shirtsleeves and Flat Cap. I hadn't wondered about the Flat Cap before.......

The first place we rented when we got married was a gate lodge, which had an outside loo. but the association on here with such facilities came about due to a conversation about the grottiest model of a toilet block on a layout, and the 2011 Competition happened to be running at the same time. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Stubby develop his fascination from similar trauma in his youf?! Back in the 50s I used to holiday on the family farm in Carlton (In Coverdale) there was certainly an outside lavatory but no water, just a hole in some wooden planks and quicklime. Granddad had to clear it out periodically. It was like something out of a Herriot novel! In fact Alf White (James Herriot) was Granddad's vet. A lovely man he always said.

Being in a workplace where we seem to be fuelled by cake, I sometimes feel like I'm wondering round the place in a zombie fashion moaning "cake... CAKE....." 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
