Fareast Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 A mate of mine lived down Brightside up to the 1960's.Their house had an outside loo and he told me few funny stories , concerning his visits. Perhaps the funnies was that the main London-Scottish railway line used to pass , literally a few yards from where he'd be sitting. He said the noise was such that it was always easier to , "go" as the train went past !However much you thought you'd got used to it , it still scared the s**t out of you.

Guest poppins Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 On my Moms first visit to me in the US about 40 years ago, she went to the lav and pulled the cord in back of her and pulled the bathroom window shades down right on top of her, she thought it was a flush chain we had.

Applegrim Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 I lived in Heeley, but all we had was "at top of cellar head", and God knows how we coped, we only had one plug in the kitchen, and our cooker was a hot plate so that used the only plug, there was only one plug in the room too, but I used to play my Dansette record player in there, but I never realised anyone was any differant, those Dansettes were pretty good 10 records all at once!That's living!!

coyleys Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 Originally posted by nitelife40 my gran had a pantry. with a folding door that i got trapped behind and locked in many a time as a child . then her house was modernised and she went all posh calling it a larder !! ooh i say.... So i take it from that, that a pantry is an older saying than a larder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
