How many hot showers ?

[Pants]

Growing up just after WW2 we were all washed in the same tin bath infront of the open fire, every Friday night.
The bath was filled by kettles of hot water, heated from the coal fire range in the living room of our single end house.
And we managed just fine before deodorants and antiperspirants came along, smoking pipes and fags .

Nearly posted the link to the Steptoe bath time clip instead of the one above - but thought better of it

I'm "only" 58 but when I was a kid, bathtime was Sunday night. Nobody died.
At the moment, I'm enjoying using my excellent golf club facilities whenever I'm up there.
Showering or bathing every day is definitely a (historically) recent innovation.

Sometimes once a week. Sometimes less.

We still talking about showers

Ewww. Every day...sometimes twice if I do two workouts...

What is a “workout?” ?

 

[IanM]

Do people really not shower every day at least?

Are you Northern and use a tin baaath in front of the fire?

Back in the day when everyone used the same bath water ?

People used to stink aswell.

Just now it's more obvious those who forgo a wash

Once a day on a work day,twice a day wk end.
Surely it can’t cost much to get a quick shower.

Can’t comprehend how someone doesn’t have at least one shower a day

Sharing a bath with a friend is the best option ?. Unfortunately those days are long gone.

I've never been one to shower every day. There's absolutely no need to, unless you work a physical job obviously or happen to sweat more than the average person. My parents never brought me up to shower every day. I shower when I need to, i.e. always after sporting activity for example - if I've woke up, sat on my arse in the back room working from home and not gone out anywhere, I certainly don't think I've got dirty enough to need a shower. All in it usually works out around 4 showers or baths a week for me.

Showering every morning no matter what is a waste of water to be honest, and I'm not sure if it's born out of paranoia or what. You won't necessarily smell just because you've not showered for 24 hours. When I do shower it's nearly always in the evening as well - not sure how sleeping in a bed makes you unclean by the morning?

Depends who is in there with you, surely.

Well if you have your house set up that old shower water is stored and used to refill the toilets then it's not a waste ?

Now I know where the Austin saying, "Dryer than a Pommie's towel" comes from!

Crikey, is Rich taking notes for next years H4H?
Put the non showerers furthest from the clubhouse, they'll need less time to be ready for lunch!

Any month that doesn't have an R in it.

Usually 3 times a day. To stay clean, before a dip in the hot tub and I find it relaxing before bed.

Also best hangover cure is a fast 5k and long hot shower.
