Shower Cubicle war

[ColinJ]

Mother was a bit of a neat freak and cared what other people thought.

Did she care about what they actually thought or what she thought they would think?

Soap....that's it. I have precious little hair so in reality I'm cleaning my scalp in the same way I clean the rest of me....with soap

I do make sure all recalcitrant hairs stuck on the soap are washed off after showering though

Pffftt, we used to get hosed down in the garden, even in the depths of winter and used my Dad's WD40 and Swarfega.

No Swarfega in the house when I was growing up, so any oil or grease on me resulted in my Mum using a nail brush coated with Vim!

She seemed to think that people would judge her on rooms that they never saw. Probably because she judged everyone on just about everything.

Do you lot shower every day then? What a waste of water! I shower about 3 times a week and that's enough as I don't do manual work as a job . Carrying a pencil all day is not sweaty work.

I cycle every day and If I didn't shower after my rides I'd be asked to go and live in the shed!

What about those hours of intensive cycling? I lose a kg of weight on a 33 km local ride. That corresponds to a litre of sweat! More in fact, since I drink 0.5 litres on the ride.

I understand having a shower after a ride, I always do , but not in a normal day.

Yep, and I don't shave my armpits either.

I remember that too.

Might have been Ajax.

I make my own scouring hand cleaner with liquid soap and sand these days. works well.

soap powder is a bit too alkaline

Bloody Looxury !
When I were but a lad
we had to use sand and if you were lucky it were snowin' so there was some lubrication

Ah, 3 rides a week - right!

Looks like I will be lucky to get 3 rides a week in if the weather stays like this ...

I shower twice a day.

Quite, real men use Vim...
