Installed a bath etc upstairs, shower etc downstairs, doubt if the bath has been used more than six times and never by me.
Much prefer the shower 
Ah but you have the choice Bill. Seriously considered a tin bath at one point or a paddling pool!!!

I remember the tin bath on the Rag Mat, in front of the ‘Scafell Iron Range’ in the cellar kitchen at Grans, filled from a kettle, only one cold tap in the house, everyone had a bath in the Spring, wether they needed it or not, hard to appreciate how lucky we are now 
I’m a bit younger than you Bill so have only ever known a proper bathroom and indoor toilet. Although, the house I lived in for the first few years of my life didn’t actually have a bathroom when my parents bought it just 3 years before I was born. They built one at the back of the house which was a tiny 2 up 2 down Victorian terrace in East London. I remember neighbours and friends still having outside loos though.
