We did not have a bathroom either we went to the "Slipper Baths" on a Saturday, they were cubicles with a bath in and you paid your money and went in and the attendant started the water, you shouted when you had enough water in the bath and whether you wanted more hot or cold, the rest of the week you took a bowl of water upstairs to your room and had a strip wash, oh the luxury of that Saturday soak, we were always getting told off for taking too much time then she would really get mad and let your water out of the bath, oh happy days.

The one in the first house we bought in 1965 would have been an outside toilet if the previous owners hadn't built an enclosed lean-to which meant it was "indoors". The house had no bath. Not only did public toilets have the perforated stuff on a roll, but local government buildings such as schools had that too with the name of the local authority printed on each sheet. My primary school (7 - 11 years) was next to a paper factory that produced soft toilet rolls. Scot something I think it was. We went on a tour of the factory to see how it was made. Even then I couldn't see the point of water resistant toilet tissue, which was one of their products!!
