DAZ was the one with little blue speckles that made your White's BRIGHT! (allegedly).
A packet of OMO was to be put in the lady of the houses window to indicate "Old Man's Out" so her gentlemen callers could pop in for a bit.

My "Nan" (who we went and lived with after my Mum topped herself) had an old copper boiler for washing clothes/sheets etc. and a big old mangle for squeezing the water out of the clothes and the sheets etc. Really big old thing with a great big heavy winding wheel and huge wooden rollers (the mangle that is, not my Nan).

That's exactly what we had. The copper boiler was for washing the bed linens and towels in. There was a coal fire kept underneath it to keep the water boiling. Everything else was done in the dolly tub using the water from the boiler after it had done its turn in there. The mangle really was a heavy weight but we were not allowed to go near it 'cos we might trap our fingers.My "Nan" (who we went and lived with after my Mum topped herself) had an old copper boiler for washing clothes/sheets etc. and a big old mangle for squeezing the water out of the clothes and the sheets etc. Really big old thing with a great big heavy winding wheel and huge wooden rollers (the mangle that is, not my Nan).

Yup! Nan wouldn't let me "feed" the mangle, but I was allowed to turn the handle that drove the rollers.Yjat's exactly what we had. the copper boiler was for washing the bed linens and towels, everything else was done in the dolly tub using the water from the boiler after it had done its turn in there.
