Mucky pup, you need one of those little hand showers just to wash the grime away.

Remember telling kids that when i was younger we'd never had a shower and they just couldn't believe it. Then i told them that when we did get a shower in the late 70s we had to wash with soap, never had shower gel. They couldn't believe it. Carbolic soap, wonder what has happened to that and if you can still buy it.

I know, strange isn't it? I still use Wrights Coal Tar occasionally. I don't know if it’s the memories or the muck that makes me do it, but I love the smell still...

When we went on to posh soap.
My Nanna used to use cammay and Mum used to use Lifebouy.
If we didn't have a propper wash when we were kids.
Then we would be threatned with the vim nt scrubbing brush.

During a stint in Blackpool my nan made me have a bath with a box of Tide, I was still picking bits of Bluey-white grains out of my bits and bobs long after the rash had disappeared............I kid you not.

For years we had to endure those packs of cheap soap from Tesco’s. Do you remember them, they came in a pack of five multi-coloured naff scented stuff that made you itch.
