once upon a time, a shed was a shed. you didnt need an explanation....
you didnt need an outside outlet for tools....not that any of this is bad...just evolved and different......

Don't you think we always had word-games?

 

[mlb3c]

word games.....like when things had different meanings

when you cooked.....didn't mean you popped into mw for 1 min

washing clothes meant by hand--before my time

drying clothes-only on dry days-whether up to it or not

you didnt turn on faucet-you pitched from well-still remember

toilet--well....now we have come a long way havent we?-still remember

or are you talking...crossword puzzles? if you just said crossword-it would mean upset oh and puzzle was confused...so upset and confused can be fun and interesting....sounds like myself...lol at myself

Thanks Woodyoulike and Ban-All-Sheds I get it now I don't like those places either. When we gutted our house we tried to use as many local suppliers as we could - they were always more helpful, willing to special order for us and in most cases cheaper than those monstrosities!

Saying that, I did buy a bath from Homebase as it was the only place I could get a steel one to fit in my strangely shaped bathroom

I wanted a roll top but they were all too flaming big

 

[ninebob]

Ah, but where would you go to, other than a shed, if you wanted to buy a shed?

 

[toffee]

not so long ago.... but do you remember spangles? (sweets)

mobile phones...the world would be a much better place without them

 

[toffee]

mobiles are brilliant if you are a considerate user.

Or... they are so irritating.

also... now that they dont just go ring ring and have all manner of ring tones... the consequences are sometimes embarrassing.

Been in sensitive delicate situation and colleagues phone goes off and the 'ring tone' is a comic shouting out expletives. colleague cant find phone in pocket to switch it off... funny now but not at the time.

Toilet

B A S...
do you remember when the photographer was under the big sheet behind the camera and the camera banged when the photo was taken??

toffee runs away laughing before B A S's catches up!!!!!

 

[ban-all-sheds]

You wouldn't need to run very fast....

But no - I might be older than you, girl, but I'm not that old...

 

[toffee]

Toilet

bas--please--surely you know there havent always been toilets. ever seen an out house or my great aunt who lived on a farm had one of those and then graduated to a chair -with no seat-that had a pot under neath it-that's what you used...and everytime you utilized it....you clean it up and out......come a long way--she did in the last 6-7 years of her life get indoor plumbing.
