Tide Marks - Yuk
Actually saw one of these on someone's neck t'other week, was fascinated.
Somethings you do not miss, thank goodness for showers and the Bathroom grant. Remember the miners who looked as though they had full black eyeliner ? Thank you fellas for cleaning up your act. |

Dirty B ... you only a youngster, so no excuse !! ... would have had a bathroom at least when you were a kid.
Joking apart though, was trying to say how bodily cleanliness has changed for the better, very rarely smell sweat on anyone and that piece of nostalgia can go in the trash can. I vote the introduction of the shower to be one of the tops in my lifetime. |
Re: Tide Marks - Yuk
When I was a young fella (early teens). Our family didn’t own a shower, only a bath and because there were five of us it was to much bother for us all to bath every day so Fridays became bath nights. I ended up during the week only washing my hands, arms and face and more often than not my neck was included in the wash also, even after work. It isn’t any wonder why I was 21 before I popped mi cheery, prier to that I must have stunk.
These days I’m pleased to say I shower every day and it’s not my neck that ends up with the tide marks. |
Re: Tide Marks - Yuk
Your not getting close enought to the bu**ers.....lol. Just to make issue, I grew up with a "Tin" bath in front of the fire once a week, in winter it was bathing in the stone sink after the pot had been washed. we didn't have an inside bath or bog until 67/68........
I do know what you mean though.......:) :). |
Re: Tide Marks - Yuk
It was the same for us. I was 7 when we moved to a house with a bathroom. The water was either scalding or freezing.

Re: Tide Marks - Yuk
Hwy, just had me tea, late I know.
Was meant to be serious nostalgia this ... you lot crazy, but like ya; |
Re: Tide Marks - Yuk
Talking about Nostalgia in conjunction with cleanliness and the public health, what about the green trails up the sleeve? Dried bogies and that little act parturition from one or other nostril resulting in a luminous discharge that would hang on with grim determination to the upper lip…………:D

I can't be doing with showers, I don't like the water falling down on me, I can't breathe properally, and I feel like I'm being suffocated. Give me a bath and my own mucky water to sit in any day! Nice.
