You had a puddle? Sheer luxury Ossy, It wasn’t until the mid 60s that we got our “Hand Me Down” Tin Bath that had a hole at the top left hand corner, previously it had been use as a water troth on Church Bridge farm… I digress, until that fateful day we could only wash when it rained heavy, we had to take turns under the broken bit of drain pipe outside of Mrs Hammers shop on corner of Church St and John St…………
