Well, that's me right in the mire

Slightly skewing off track.
Back in the seventies we hired a washer off a local scallwag called Clever Trever.
Trever had the momopoly for all the villagers wash needs.
For those who could not afford it was the sink or the local brook with a stick and rock.

We were doing good and had all the mod cons in our house as well as a Ewe Bank for vaccing up .
Our twin tub was the appliance of science and we hapily loaded it full of shitty nappies an bibs.
You put them in the left hand side and added your dobie dust.
Before switching on we both had to sit on it to stop it vibrating and walking around the kitchen.
It was like a churning Thermopoleye hot gates in there for thirty minutes and the stench was an aquired taste.
After draining we would spin the nappies in the right side of the macine hence the name twin tub.
After this we would put them through the mangle which would remove the last drops of waste water.
Then off to the washing line to proudly peg out our pastel brown terry nappys to air and freshen in the working class breeze
You don't know your born'e OP !

I have to go it' raining heavy . ffs ehh
 
A fucking twin tub? LUXURY

Normal people just had the launderette........stealing rock hard soap powder from other machines
