| 859461 | 2010-02-17 22:59:00 | I'm still searching for a good way to peg out those fitted sheets - the ones with the elastic corners. Either they act like a spinnaker or if pegged in the middle take an age to dry | Dally (6292) | ||
| 859462 | 2010-02-17 23:06:00 | Wonder how many times NZ's wash their sheets per year? It's possible UK people don't sleep/or used in beds that much. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 859463 | 2010-02-18 00:49:00 | Eww thats disgusting. I change my sheets every weekend. | convair (13650) | ||
| 859464 | 2010-02-18 00:58:00 | That's because half of the "British" people surveyed were probably wearing the sheets at the time.... | Peterj116 (6762) | ||
| 859465 | 2010-02-18 02:53:00 | Comes as no surprise to me, even in the 60s there were lots of pommy houses without even a bath. If they did have a bath, it was filled with coal. |

| 859466 | 2010-02-18 05:09:00 | I guess that pomanders are still in rage there too? And don't forget chamber pots. My grandfather was Welsh - isn't that some sort of Brit? and he never bathed - but my mom said a decent germ wouldn't live on him anyway. I also remember that he never cut his toenails either. They just grew up through the tops of his shoes. They said he was dead for two weeks before anyone knew it. He was a dirty ol' man. |

| 859467 | 2010-02-18 09:14:00 | One ride on the Tube or a bus first thing in the morning will tell you all you need to know about pommy cleanliness, they positively reek. I lived over there for a while as a roomer in a posh house in a nice street in Kensington and my landlady complained bitterly about my taking daily showers. She complained about us washing clothes too, so we had to use a laundromat, which was never crowded!! Get a pongy one who is into frottage and you have to get off or you'd retch. :yuck: It would be worse now with the overcrowding, I'd never go back. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
