Yes, that's more or less it Pixie but more of a cylindrical tub. Like the one shown in the page linked to below but ours was white painted. My mother used one when I was a child. Put the washing in and stir it around with a stick. Still a lot of those being used in the 1950s.

Oh thanks for that, Mart...really interesting! Bet women had to be really strong to swish all those wet clothes around. I wonder if the next step up was a TwinTub? Same idea but automatic...I had one when the kids were little. Dunno if I could be doing with a copper tub though, haha!

Re: Self cleaning pyjamas

I have a box of 15mm copper pipe offcuts, so I might try sticking them down my pants this afternoon.

They were fine until I switched the heating on, then they were hot pants.

Re: Self cleaning pyjamas

I like those pyjamas made from wood!

There's a deal on at M&S!
