Monday's dins was cold roast and chips. so not quite a cold dins, round my Grans! Her tub looked like and old one but had a vertically mounted swirly thing that swished back and forth electrically.
But I got to turn the handle of the mangle. She did it in what was called "the veranda" i.e. a glassed in area outside the back door, today it'd be called a conservatory!
Where does the blue rinse hair come from did they stick there wig in the machine too.
