Funny how you can smell these soaps when they are mentioned.
Thought I was the Cat's whiskers when me mum bought bar of pink Camay.
Do you remember the jingle (any crotchet icons on here by the way)
'You'll be a little lovelier each day, with beautiful pink Camay' la, la.
Lovely smell, however, the perfume content used to bring me out in dry patches . so that bit the dust.

Do you mean red carbolic or cammy? If cammy, sure you can still buy it.

i still do that now.old habbits die hard

No you're not been mean. I always fill the washing up bottle with water when it's all gone, gets another couple of days out of it, and i don't consider myself as mean. Others might though.

Cammy is alive and well and was seen on sale in Sainsbury’s this afternoon. It’s strange the things we do after spending a evening on here.

Thank you Kate, I don't really need to be reminded of that fact.

You'll end up the same, just wait and see..............

I do that with my washing up liquid Sarah.
Waist not want for not an all that.

We had a bath in our house and my mum used to bath all three of us together on Sunday evening. My dad wouldn't let us waste water by having separate baths. I remember Camay soap and we also used Pears sometimes and like GC we wasted none of it. If we had no soap or shampoo my mum used to wash us with washing up liquid..

My mate always had a tide mark at the back of her neck and her mum used to scrub it with a toothbrush over the kitchen sink. She wouldn't have minded but she was 14 by then.

Despite having bathrooms and showers now, there is still no shortage of dirty, smelly people around. You only need to visit Netto to spot them. Over the years I have had several women at my clinics who are strangers to soap and water. It is unpleasant to have to examine dirty people and I did resort to actually asking them if they had had a wash recently.....Yuk!!!

Wasn't there a blue Camay once? Do they still do that one too?

Soap is one of my pet "things" along
