G'morning all
Dull and very cold here with a good covering of snow on the Antrim Hills.
Last day for packing and saying goodbye to snow!

Lucky you

When I was young, we didn't even have a land line in the house, and mobile phones? ??????

Outside loo?

 

[172traindriver]

Morning all
I wonder if it will snow today
Have a nice day, ya all hear

By 'eck..
in my day
you open the window and just called to someone to shout and tell your intended contact what your message was..
It worked even streets away..
Noisy mind you
(for some obscure reason families tended to get housing in the next street to each other)

Outside loo?

My granny had an outside loo. Can't remember if the toilet roll was old newspapers or that scratchy paper. Lol.

She also did a washing in a boiler then took it out to the shed and put it through a mangle.......no spin dryers.

Last used a mangle two years ago. On an old Hoover washing machine.

Field behind the house. Hoping to avoid nettles at night.

So did mine.

Do you mean Izal toilet roll, the stuff that's made from the same kind of paper that old school bibles were made from?

That's the stuff. Couldn't remember the name. Scratchy as hell and didn't really do the job if you know what I mean. Lol

Your Granny!! All of that's what I started with when growing up. I was in my early teens before life, and toilet paper, got a bit softer!!
