Well filth may be too strong a word but I changed to showers in 1970 when the Americans kept saying we sat in out own dirty water!!!Quote:

.. and you can get your feet nice and clean soaking in the bath - in the shower you have to hop on one foot trying to scrub the soles of your feet - ha,ha, they don't get as clean as when you soak them in the bath.
My next door neighbour has only got a shower room and no bath ( that's how it was when she moved into the house) - she says she misses a bath and would love a good relaxing soak after a hard days work.
The other thing is, that there is nothing like a lovely warm bath if you are feeling not well or under the weather, tired or aching. It works for me anyway. I always get a nice bath if I'm not feeling 100%
You feel like a human again after a bath :)
Isn't your shower big enough for a lift up wall seat?makes allthe difference in scrubbing thy feet. :)Quote:

Wouldn't mind a pair of those shoes myself!:nod::slywink:
You only get one Steve, lol I think you can do the 'get one free' thing if you pay $8 for shipping. It suction sticks to the floor of the bath!! I am thinking of getting one:)Quote:

I don't have a problem washing me feet,its the back that I have a problem with...however I solved this by adapting a car power washer brush to the shower head.
When water is at high pressure the brush rotates and scrubs me back nice and clean. :)

Ye might laugh woman,but it works a treat,just got to get round to attaching it on a slide rail to the wall o the shower now so I just bend up and down while its doing the biz. :)Quote:

GeorgiPorgie.
Having read your post I thought I would give your idea a try....................I didnt have the rotary brush attachment, so just used the regular power wash jet..............it blew 17 tiles off the shower cubicle wall, I
then dropped it and it kept spinning around in the cubicle, chasing me.
I was discharged from hospital this morning, the doctor says I should make a full recovery, but my hair will never grow again.
thanks for the useful tip

I'm having the bath taken out and a double shower put, a bit like a wet room, I would shower every day, in the 60s it was Margeret St baths once a week, I can only remember a few stinkers in the 60s, they would likely be stinkers today regardless !
:nod: whether you needed it or not! :)Quote:

Anything I got my hands on and made me less smelly ! It's the same now.
I've never stank,I can go a week without a shower/bath and you wouldn't smell bad odor on me. Attachment 22840
I kid you not. :)
:D ha,ha, I know what you mean, I'm the same. I think I must have been born without sweat glands ! I don't have any of that perspiration problem - I never have to use sprays and deoderants.Quote:

If ones nose did not ignore ones own scent we could smell little else, hence why it is a 'friend' who must whisper...BO ;)
:D I'm not a sweaty person Oudeis, I know I don't have B O :snf (41):
hee, hee, what a strange conversation !! :p
ODOR-O-NO came out in the twenties. It didn't small of much but it was advertised as lasting 7 days.Quote:

My odorous memories of the 1960's start with Eau de Cologne mixed with sweaty socks. As the 60's ended the smell of patchouli oil covered a multitude of sins.:smoke::wasted::noid::slywink: Could get very heavy, man.

In 12 Violet Street where we lived it was three stories high.
Every Saturday night my Dad would boil up big pans of water go two stories up and fill the the bath.
Everyone took turns, the youngest last.
Wonder how many peed in the bath ?
