chrishall Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Don't know if others are the same but in freezing weather and on the rare occasions I need to use an unheated toilet once I sit down I don't feel as cold. Dont know why, maybe I've inherited it from my childhood when it was a daily occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishall Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 But thinking back, we never had any plumbing problems with those outside lavs using the pull chain to flush those newspapers down, now we have those delicate dam water saving lavs that only like "special" toilet paper, even the lavs want Molly coddling now a days. Also the thing needs flushing several times before the paper goes down, just keeps endlessly tumbling over and over. Modern toilets must be one of the worst wasters of water.

old tup Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Our out side lav believe it or not was a brand new one built when I was about 6yrs old due to our old one being demolished along with our barn due to us having to reconfigure two different level yards into one giving access to the power station at the bottom of our field.I remember it very well as my dear old dad gave me a very well smacked arse after I kicked the sitting down porcelane away from its new wet conrete base,I thought it was a good idea at the time but they found a little footprint in the concrete.It was about two degrees above freezing point most of the year you had goose pimples like corky balls after 5mins in there,we were definately a lot tougher in those days people don,t know they are born now,spoilt to death!!.:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinder Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 As a young lad we lived for a while in a back to back house with a shared outside toilet. That's where I learned how to whistle, and I truly believe had we not moved I would have grown up with one leg longer than the other.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrodbo Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Everything above is so true, I also remember Mum in the 1940s/1950s every morning walking across the yard with a "po" full of wee and dog ends cause our Dad would have a fag during the night. I also remember smoking Park Drive aged about 13 or 14 and hiding the cigs and matches behind the toilet cistern. Dad used to peek out of the kitchen door to see if any neighbours were in the yard if all was clear he would dash across with a paper under his arm and a lit fag. We had the "STAR" on a nail and in later years progressed to IZAL paper which had the same texture as sandpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
