Re: The washer women

When I was 7 we had a house with a wash house across the yard and a rag and bone man used to keep his horse just through the yard and when I was naughty my dad used to throw my hoola hoop on top of the wash house so I couldn't play with it...

when i was about 8/9 we went all posh and got a house with a proper bath. and i always remember my step-sister (i really hated her after this) she made me share a bath with my brother. and we had to STAND UP in the bath.
i wasnt happy. b4 that we used to go to balam street baths once a week.
now i just step into a power shower. and then use the automatic washing machine.
and the kids moan now a days if they cant have the most up to date mobile phone.
Oh Cathy, it's ages since I heard someone use the word Scullery.
