Bangkok Barry Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I liked Victory V's. Probably still would. Perhaps. Maybe. Or maybe not. And I used to roll fags for my dad using tins of Golden Virginia. Hundreds of them. He died of lung cancer so perhaps I helped kill him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanos Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Toilet paper, Izal or any other, was a luxury - only for the elites. For as long as I can remember as a small boy in post-WWII Britain, we used newspaper - torn into appropriate-size squares. I ask myself, "where have all the good times gone?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post eddiesdad Posted January 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2023 Tin bath on the back of the kitchen door. Friday night - water boiled in a kettle on the fire. Add cold water from the tap. 3 inches of water, hardly enough to get past your ankles. Father first then mother. My brother and I last ! Still remember one time my brother taking a dump in the bath 555 ! He must have been about 1 year old at the time, I was 3. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, when did the instruction manual for making soft tissue paper reach Britain?

IZAL toilet paper , I found the best way to use it was to rustle it in your hands to make it softer but at my granddads house he always had torn up daily mirror in the outhouse loo secured on a 6 inch nail . Colour white Y fronts were the popular male underwear that would show up inevitable skid marks . Then along came Andrex loo paper , thank god . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
