A lot of people would never be able to cope in a situation like people had during ww2. Of all the things to care about, what I wipe my arse with comes bottom of the list. A friend was telling me what his dad taught him when he was a youngster (early 1950s) and they had an outside loo. They used old newspapers as toilet roll and his dad said "if you turn up the corners, you can use them to get the crap out of your fingernails" |

Using newspapers as toilet paper was also very common, partly because it was actually nicer to use than the sandpaper they sold as toilet rolls back then. This was before the availability of cheap tissue strong enough not to disintegrate while wiping. I was amused recently watching someone talking to a room full of students about how much the UK has changed since the 1960s. He commented about outside toilets going away, to which one of the students responded that they looked at a student house with an outside toilet, totally missing that the speaker was not referring to an additional toilet in the garden. Some people seem too privileged to think. |

Oh joy the crazy fuckers are turning up now. I've just had death threats from someone after agreeing with the government handling of things now containment has failed. They accused me of being a shill, that this entire thing is a government plot to kill the vulnerable and disabled and that I was going to get stabbed up. I hope they don't run out of meds for these folk :palm:. Another forum for ref, not this one. |
