I had to have mine removed/ knocked down about 25 years ago before they would give me my mortgage, part of the agreement, surveyors and all that stuff.

Everytime I went out my mum and Nan used to say "Don't be playin on the coits (*sp) or in them the're bin oils"!

I cant remember them over here - over in ireland yes but cant remember them in our back garden. As far as i can remember we've always had an inside loo. Next door had an outbuilding which they used for storing stuff but that was when i was about 4 when we moved from there.

I still have my outside loo. It’s a god send for when we’ve been having curry for tea.

Oh my god, that's brought back some memories - not good ones either. When I was little we had an outside loo and I remember being frightened to death of fallin down it, it seemed like it went on forever. Best day of my life when my mum & dad had our bathroom installed - sheer heaven

My Mum still has an outside Lavvy...and a bin hoil......but alas the coal hoil was pulled down.
When I was young (many years ago)...the coal hoil was the equivalent of the naughty step....and yes I did spend some time locked in there in the dark.
Now today, that would constitute child abuse and the social workers would have whisked me off to a place of safety. Did it scar me mentally? NO...of course it didn't.

We've still got a bin oil which is shared with next door but coil oil and lavvy are long gone.
