Aren't all Aussie dunnies in the shed?

They never were in the shed when we had dunny
carts collecting the **** and **** that was in tins under
the seat and emptied weekly into the dunny cart.

Great job, eh ?

The job is described in census returns in the UK as "gong farmer"

Never heard that one before.

And they didn't empty the tin under the dunny into the dunny cart.

or "night soil".

That's the ****, not the **** collector.

My grandpa, who lived in a small town in the woollen manufacturing area of
West Yorkshire, could remember when he was little (so maybe 1910-15) a man
leading a horse-drawn cart with a big wooden barrel, calling out "Old
Wesh" (wash). This was one of those street-vendor's calls that sounds like
gibberish because it's said so many times (as in the Morecambe and Wise
"Morny Stannit" sketch). But this man was actually asking people to take
out their chamberpots of **** to pour into the barrel: stale urine was
used for treating the wool - not sure whether it was part of the fulling
process or for fixing the dye into the wool.

Ours dunny men just opened the door at the back of the dunny,
took the large tin of **** and **** and tipped it into the dunny cart.

**** was also used to make gunpowder in earlier times, but not here.
