Make sense to meâŠ
I think us folks down South bath twice a day due to the heat.
But, to be honest, Iâd still bath twice a day up North too! Itâs just a habit now
Ooooh yes⊠I remember that too! 
In fact Iâve a memory ping too⊠I had a large metal fish that I used to play with in the bath. I forgot to take it out and I eventually got in trouble because it was there too long and left a rust stain at the bottom of the bath. 
Somewhere else in my memory banks to do with bathing - wasnât there a time when we had to limit the water in our baths?

We had a cement tub well not actually a tub more like a square⊠with a half wall⊠a bucket 
and a stool. Twice a day like clockwork! Then we got the real fancy bathtub when we moved.

What was interesting in that article published in 2017 was that it still quoted temperatures in Fahrenheit - it is no surprise that Britain has never successfully converted to the metric system.
