Park..... shouldn't that be donkeystone????? there was Reckitts Dolly Blue.......good for wasp stings as well as washing.......the dollytub and posser were dragged out every Monday morning and the copper was lit to boil the water, the washboard and hard green soap(bought off a block from the Co-op) and then the clothes mangled to remove excess water...... then if it was wet the clothes were hung on the rack over the kitchen fire......Tuesday was ironing day!
