Remember the quartz bathroom heaters? The round ones that actually

Oh yes.

That was the only form of heating in the bathroom apart from the
weedy towel rail.

When we moved to somewhere that didn't have a heat-n-lightÂ* we were
allowed to put the fan heater in the bathroom on the long lead to
warm it up *before* having a bath.


750W combined heat and light?Â* Fan heater?Â* Pah!Â* If it were really,
really cold we might be allowed to take a one bar electric fire to
balance on the washbasin - but only while *in* the bathroom 'cos the
'leccy meter eat money.

We had real Darwinism in them days

So you had a bathroom then:-)?

I thought this would make a change from the Monty Python Yorkshiremen
video that is usually posted when we make such jokes.

It does indeed. I am also reminded from time to time to be thankful I
had electricity - unlike someone I visit occasionally who lived in
Suffolk with oil lamps and candles until she was in her teens.

reply-to address is (intended to be) valid

My wife and her brother were very excited to get torches one christmas in thier youth...........

They moved soon after to a 200 year old cottage with an earth closet!

She used to kick the door open very hard (in case there was a Cyberman hiding behind it).
