Are you avin a tin barf Gummy Bear.
Yes I have corresponded with the lovely Rhian, a smashing bird with a great sense of humour, anytime you drop in Rhian it will be our pleasure.;-)
Re the picture Gummy.
The bike and the child’s push chair are clues to the date of the picture, I would guess it (the bike) was made round about the 1930’s, so I would say the setting is the 30’s, note the curved bar on the ladies bike, this was actually a stronger version of the later models which had two straight bars, because the curved bar is welded in three places instead of two.
I would imagine there were several children in the first dwelling as the long tin bath seems to be well used, both for bathing and washing clothes.
The bricks on the left wall are badly in need of pointing so obviously you didn’t get it from Spitty’s album, he comes from a long line of proud brickies and that just would not do.
Did you all know that the poor chap was up with the Lark this morning laying bricks, I take my hat off to you Spitty, you’re a chip off the old block without a doubt.
“The Brickies Lot” (is not an ‘appy one)
The laying of bricks is not much fun
When your back is scorched from the midday Sun
Sweat rolls down the back of your ears
And your only thoughts are of cold beers.
Coming home at night and your back is bent
Your hands are sore and stiff with cement
You have to be careful and use the back door
Make sure you avoid the new carpet on the floor.
After a bath you sit down in your own chair
She puts on your slippers made of camel hair
Builders wives are kind to their men
‘Cos tomorrow he’ll be doing it all over again. (Jem)
long tin bath seems to be well used, both for bathing and washing clothes.
you actually have proof of that do ya Jem lad? - wot about a geranium holder awaiting soil and geraniums - OR a wellie holder for wet wellies and umbrellas too?? - don’t go for the obvious - that’s a very Irish thing that you do to be sure to be sure!! yakka dah!! hock noo mon! - yea lard she’ll be right R kid!!
That was the easy answer I gave you Gummy.
I could have said that a man was hacked to death with a crowbar on the top floor and the tin bath had just been cleaned and steel wooled, it was full of the chaps blood, guts, and grey matter, the bicycle belonged to his unfaithful lover who was naked in the room with the man, the geraniums were a present he was bringing her because he was about to propose, that’s how they got dumped in the rusty pot, but that would have been a bit too dramatic and definitely not obvious to the untrained mind, the key to the whole thing is in the bath…it’s far too clean, Columbo ain’t got notin’ on me mate.;-)
OMG!!!:shock: Have you been watching Breaking Bad?
I recall getting into a bath once and laying back relaxing…next time,I’m going to do the same again,but with water,soap,flannels etc…
Our tin bath had an handle either end, bathing in it was a Galvanising experience.
What about the ferrets?
They were Ok, I kept my pants on, made sense to wash your “smalls” at the same time.
