I don't miss my mother washing me in the sink (we didn't have a bath in the early 1950's!) where she had added Jeyes Fluid to the water. When we used to complain and say it was stinging us, she'd say, 'Shut up, it's killing the germs'!!

Waking up on Winter mornings to find ice on the inside of the window panes. Brrrrrrr!

Washing or bathing in cold water, when the fire wasn't lit to heat the water in the back boiler. Brrrrrrrrr!
