Gee, so often someone posts something that brings a fond grin of memories past to the dial
We lived in QLD back in the 50s and we had no hot water service - not like the soft stuff of today. But we did have a bathroom with a proper bath - pretty posh AYE!
The ole man used to get the wood-fired copper going in the outside laundry on a Saturday morning, and when it was boiling he would fill an old kero tin (about 5 gallon) and carry it inside to the bathroom, and tip it into the bath. A bit of cold water from the tap to take the temp down a bit, and Mum and my sister (about 4 years old) would have first dibs. When they were finished the ole man would get another kero tin of hot water and carry it in and pour into the bath. His turn.
When he was finished, he would go out and get that kero tin filled again and into the bath for me brudder and me. The best part was there was no time limit on me brudder and me coz all the others had finished.
We never ever cared about whether the water was second hand or not. Saturday baths were fun ! !
And ... yeah, the only washing the hair got was a bit of the Velvet soap rubbed in and washed out in the dirty, used bath water.
AHHHHH .... them woz the daze .... kids today don't know wot they are missin'
Cheers - John

Not only good memories in all the above, but I also believe some of the practices in that era helped expose us to germs and bugs in small amounts to build up our resistance.
No silly allergies, rashes or other soft diseases in those days.
