I was just wondering how many of you had the experience of getting to take a bath in a tin wash tub. Remember those old square tubs that were used for washing clothes in the days of conventional washing machines? Many of us got our weekly bath in one of those and yes, the same water was used for more than one bather. Most of you have heard of the old saying “don’t throw the baby out with the wash water.” That was probably when that saying came about. I will admit I was one of those lucky ones, however we usually got to use an oblong galva...
