Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2025 4:38 am...you can remember when "bath night" was a major event!
Younger readers will think I'm kidding but believe me I'm not.
And I was lucky in that every house I lived in had a bathroom and hot water, albeit sometimes very different to what they are today. Most of my friends were far less fortunate. Some didn't even have a toilet let alone a bathroom!
I mention it because a lot of the "How we used to live" videos on YouTube I've watched recently seem to think everyone lived in a manor house with central heating and running hot water whereas in reality very few people had either.
