It’s my understanding that males are haemophiliac and if they father girls then those girls are likely to have haemophiliac boys. I have a friend whose husband was haemophiliac, he was sadly given HIV infected blood years ago and died. They had two daughters together and she’s said that if their girls have boy babies they will be haemophiliac and if they have girl babies they will carry the gene. Dreadful to have that hanging over your head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 You don't see kids scratching their bottoms due to their mums using those horrible and irritating new fangled biological washing powders, such as Bold and Ariel that came out in the late 50's, early 60's. They made ones nether regions itch something chronic ! The first time my mum used Bold, I amused her by saying that it feels like I've got beetles in my bottom ! I think she washed my underwear in something more sympathetic from then on ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,118 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Your Mum probably switched to Lux soap flakes,,anyone remember them? do they still make em? Mam always had a box in,, most likely for me 'Liberty Bodices' lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 It's not one I remember. We were more into Persil; Daz; Omo; Oxydol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,377 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Mam always washed woollens with it. As far as I can remember it was quite a bit more expensive than Persil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,118 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 It was more expensive from all the normal soap powders and Detergents,,along with Dreft,,might have been for woollens,, thought it was for more delicate items like undies........anyway never got the 'Scratches'' lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 My mum used Lux for jumpers but Sunlight Soap on collars of shirts. I've seen something called Granny's Soapflakes in various shops. It has a picture of an elderly woman on the box. Ey up...if we can't have Mansize Tissues, Granny's Soapflakes has to go. It's sexist!

jonab 1,644 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Stergene was the ultimate in 'gentle' washing products. It was a liquid sold in an oval bottle. Just Googled it and found that Stergene is still available. It was one of the earliest synthetic detergents available for home fabric washing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,713 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I cam remember Lux soap flakes, my mum always used Persil. Sometimes it wouldn’t dissolve and would go into lumps. Can remember my gran had a wash house outside the kitchen door. Monday was washing day, she used to have a copper whic I am sure she used to lite. Her mangle was in there as well, got my fingers caught in that a few times. Can remember the small of soap. She never took to new fangled washing machines even though my dad bought her one. She said they clothes weren’t cleaned properly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 We had a copper boiler in the kitchen. Gas fired. My mum loved it and said she boiled all the terry nappies in it and they came out sparkling white. My mum had no time for washing machines. Dolly tub and mangle when I was a child. Robin starch and wooden ironing board with asbestos pad for the iron. Wooden clothes horse in front of the fire. Washing took all day. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,713 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Can’t remember what soap she used could it have been sunlight but can remember the smell I loved it. She had a big stick and used to stir the copper and push the clothes down as well whilst standing on a stool. So glad for my washing machine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 My mum had a 'dolly peg' which was a broom handle with a circular wooden thing on the bottom, which had 3 thick pegs coming out of it to stir the washing in the dolly tub with. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
