entwisi, if it is me to whom you are referring.......then I think that you have misread or misunderstood my post. I know exactly what it was like to fill that tin bath....and I do not view it through rose tinted spectacles. It was something that I experienced because that was how life was at the time....the alternative was going down to the slipper baths......not something that was any more practical than the method employed at the time.....and we didn't know any better.
I was painting a picture with words, because I know there are many members on here that will have no concept of what it was like to have your weekly bath in front of the fire.
Give me my comfortable four piece bathroom with water that goes down the plug hole every time.


Oh yes, and the fact that bath time/shower time can be every day or more frequently is a big added bonus too.
