TBI 2,351 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I can remember that, also the episode where Albert's on his cart and Hercules stops and does a dump. He jumps off, picks it up and sticks it in a bucket, pushes it down with his hands and gets back up on his seat. He then fishes out a sandwich and starts eating it. Harold's sitting next to him, looking in disgust. 'You diiiiiirty old man!' 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I didn't see that episode but I could just imagine him doing that. Rarely sit in a bathtub anymore. Ever since we moved here its been a shower everyday. Remember when we went back to the inlaws. The FIL liked our Canadian showers so much he had one installed. Only problem was that there was not much head of water with the tank being in the airing cupboard. We used to refer to it as taking a trickle. :-0 Never told him though. He liked his shower. Hot water is at mains pressure here so you tend to get a good pressure washing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crankypig 457 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Marks and spencer used to have cardigans and jumpers folded nicely on a wooden counter,if you fancied one they would look in a drawer for your size.So much nicer,I think and they don't all get mucky and out of shape like they do on hangers.A lot of shops were like this .Now some of them resemble jumble sales,stuff on the floor,make up on the clothes,bring back the old ways ,some of us would like that. P.S, went in marks the other week and walked by a trolley with reduced bakery items in,saw a woman opening the bags of buns/cobs and handling them then putting them back in the bags.yuk.You wouldn't have seen that in an old shop where you had to ask for what you wanted (like open all hours) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 #3371 Crankypig you have reminded me about when I worked in Farmers. In the upstairs underwear department they had a glass topped counter with drawers in where all the lace up corsets were kept. As a student working there I was amazed when I first saw them! If a customer asked we got out the size they asked for. There were front laced ones and back laced. Before I worked there I hand heard of laced corsets and I thought the laces were to fasten them like shoe laces and I found out the laces are adjustments. I used to wait until I got home and have a good laugh about them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,145 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Dabbit was a brilliant stain remover. However the ingredient was carbon tetrachloride which was carcinogenic. That's why we don't see it anymore! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
