Tell me, what is wrong with our tin bath in front of the woodburner. It only takes barb about 20 minutes to heat the water and fill it with a saucepan. I always let her get in it first because it's only polite and I am dirtier than her.

It is true, I have spoilt my wife. Last christmas I bought her a lovely vacuum cleaner, you should have seen her face when she opened it. She was so surprised she went quiet and walked into the kitchen. I know it was a bit extravagant of me but who cares.
Last week she came home excited about something she saw at a neighbours house. She said there was some sort of little room with a glass door installed in this womens bathroom. It appears there was a plastic box on the wall with two small controls. There is a thick electrical cable and a water pipe going into the box and another flexible pipe coming out to a water sprinkler screwed to the wall quite high up.
The idea is you take all your clothes off, open the glass door and stand under the water sprinkler. Then you turn one of the controls clockwise and warm water pours over you from the sprinkler above. Well I cannot see this idea catching on. It must use lots of electricity and what about all the water that runs down the drain at your feet. I don't go with these new fangled devices.

When we have both finished she bales it out fairly quickly with a small bucket and I always hang the bath back up in the shed outside on a long nail for her.
Women a suckers for new ideas !

Bob, do you "Gal-vanise" the wife, to fetch the Tin Bath.

Bob the only problem is if there are a lot of people in the house and you are last in line to use the water. Not much fun getting into grey water with soap scum on the top

I did buy my ex wife the latest iRon for her birthday once, she liked the latest technology too.
