You must tell how you exercise such control over the missus. 60 years we have been together and there is no way I could do that!

The joys of being a serial killer eh?Twice a day. Always once as soon as I get up, but also sometimes as soon as I get home from work. I come into close contact with some right mingers at work, and it's not fair on my family if I transfer that onto them. I once went home with liquid dead body juice on the bottom of my boots
Mine has a bath every day….I’m not stopping her
or taking the bath out and fitting a shower tray.I’m glad I’ve got another bathroom with a shower cubicle
During hot spells, there’s a few in th WSU who smell like they haven’t bathed/showered since the Goldstone was demolished.
I hate other people’s B.O., a bar of soap costs less than 50p, absolutely no reason anyone should stink.

3-4 times a week. When on holiday 1-2 times a day (depending on how hot it is)

Like you, I always wanted an outdoors bath too but what do you do in the winter? Isn’t it a bit chilly?
Oh there’s a lot of us that do weird around here
Have a shower every morning before starting work, even though I WFH I like to shower and get dressed so that I would be ready if I was needed to go in to an office, that’s not smart, but jeans and t shirt, jumper if cold.
Our shower is ensuite, off the main bedroom, our bathroom does not have a shower but a Victorian cast iron roll top bath. It was in the house when we bought it. Dates back to 1840s. So I do also like a long soak in the bath sometimes in the evening.

Unfortunately, as I have discovered over the years, there are a whole number of reasons. It was the one of the chats I dreaded most. You're not going to get to where you want to be, you're on an official warning and I'm sorry but your post is being made redundant isn't a lot worse
Old cast iron baths in good condition sell for over £1000, good to hear you have got one from 1840.
I have a bath whenever the missus has one.
Not with her, I find the vast quantity of water at close to boiling that she puts into the bath an incredible waste of energy so after it's cooled enough that I can get in I read there for an hour.

I have to smash the crap ones into 4 pieces to get them out! My dad said he remembers a bloke that would carry them on his back like a tortoise..
I’ve smashed so many cast iron baths up, always into 4, until I bought a cheap sledgehammerI have to smash the crap ones into 4 pieces to get them out! My dad said he remembers a bloke that would carry them on his back like a tortoise..
only ever fitted 2.One customer’s son has a reclamation yard and refurbs baths, he was supposed to come deliver the bath and bring his mate to put the bath in position for me to connect, when he turned up he was on his own. I had to help him get the bath up these narrow stairs in a cottage
I’ve heard this from so many old plumbers, you imagine if they tripped going up the stairs, it would break their neckMy dad said he remembers a bloke that would carry them on his back like a tortoise..
That‘s good to know. I don’t think we would ever change it, it is timeless and cast iron is great for keeping the water hot.
The taps are very old as well.

Namely around the arse areaSame, summer is as often as not a swim in the sea after work to cool off then a rinse to make sure there's no whinnets, dangleberries or tagnuts stuck anywhere
Very nice condition, they are globe taps, don’t see many of them, I lived in an old property in the late 80s with similar taps on a cast iron bath.
Nice towel too, I’ve got one of those.
Well when you say it like that I’ll go and apologise for ever mentioning our fuel and water bills in front of the lad
I prefer to rely on my good looks and wit, it’s a lot easier than bloody showering all the time.
