Iain Popplewell Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Talking of Old Spice reminded me of many years ago there was a fly spray (the name of which I forget) in a very similar red spray can. The inevitable happened when having showered but not having donned my glasses I picked up the fly spray instead of the Old Spice. Had the nicest smelling flies until I zapped them with my armpits. I know what you mean Phil.I remember many years ago inadvertently cleaning my teeth with my mothers Immac. I thought I was about to die from poisoning, it tastes blxxdy awful.Mind you, I've never had hair on my teeth since.

RhBBob Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Mind you in an age when deodorant was unheard of and bathing was a weekly event I'm not sure that pre-war exhibitions would have been any more fragrant than today's. As David obviously knows, we bathed once a week since the 'bathroom' hung on a large nail just outside the kitchen door........ And the old joke was the ladies who went to stay in a posh hotel from Monday to Thursday and raved on about the beautiful bathroom. Questioned as to their bathing experience, they replied ' Oh no, we couldn't have a bath as we were not there on the Friday night'. True in our house as it was Harry Davidson on the Light Programme with 'Those Were The Days', followed by 'Friday Night is Music Night'..... It don't seem that long ago....he lied !

Iain Popplewell Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) ROFLMAO Ok Horsetan I know I'm going to regret this but what does ROFLMAO mean? I notice no one else has marked it indecipherable so it's probably obvious to all, but not to me. Edit; It's all right Horsetan I looked it up on that internet thingy. Glad you found it funny, I assure you it wasn't. Mind you it wasn't as bad as what happened to a mate of mine when he applied Germolene ointment to his piles only to find he had inadvertently applied Fiery Jack instead. 2nd Edit: A definite case of ROFWHAOF!

Pacific231G Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 As David obviously knows, we bathed once a week since the 'bathroom' hung on a large nail just outside the kitchen door........ Not necessarily. When I was growing up almost everyone had a bathroom (and, being in the civilised half of the country, very few kept coal in the bath) but the weekly bath was still quite common though people did at least get their own bathwater. Ironically I think that more than a few of the old tin baths found a second use....... as a coal store. I think that in most cities the public bath house was more commonly used than the tin bath though those were probably used more for washing the kids. The first time I went to America I was surprised to find that few people living in apartments had baths- showers were very much the norm. So, which is going to be the first major exhibtion to offer a public bath-house for visitors Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that no one fancies the idea of grabbing the olfactory offenders and giving them a shower. We could of course leave them tied uo the aerobics studio (the public canteen) and force them to take part in the monday morning training session.
