Re: fourpence to the future

Returning to bath-time routines as Margaret described - I remember Mum telling me that very often, when lads used to call asking her out, she'd send my Gran with the message that she had to stay in as she'd washed her hair if it was such-n-such who she didn't like.

It was a good excuse back then as there were no hair-dryers and she had to sit in front of the fire all evening to get it dry!
