We had a nice modern bathroom in our house, but still it was bath night once a week - usually on a Sunday ready for school next day. We had a good wash down every night.

You would come across the occasional pongy person, but nothing much different from today.
That's probably about right, Lindy. My parents coming home to Liverpool in the Sixties from the US of A used to say that they could smell Liverpudlians on the buses but I bet it was, as now, just the occasional person. Besides which, upstairs on the old double-deckers where you could smoke, it generally reeked of ciggy smoke anyway!
