[Gremlin]

I can just about remember our outside lavatory we had when I was a child.

We walked about twenty yards up the muddy grass to a brick shed, inside was a board with a hole in it and below was a big tub. The shed had a little square door in it facing the lane outside. One a week a lorry with a tin covered bath like body came and two chaps got out, they pulled our tub out and tipped it into the thing on the lorry.
I always remember one chap called Scutt who was very small and when he lifted the tub over the side of the lorry it was higher than his head. I waited for it to go all over him but it never happened.

Once it was empty and replaced my dad had to go and get buckets of water from our stream and flush it out.

Like most of you on here my job was to make little squares out of newspaper for the bum wipes.

Happy days in village life.
