Hi Chris93940,... Oh"I remember the Friday night bath night in the tin bath in the kitchen, after it was always hung on the wall in the bruhouse, till next week, I found another use for the tin bath tub, my mom made me a swimsuit black and yellow, ( I looked like a bloody bumblebee,) and I was only 7 or 8 years old, well I lived close to Calthorpe park, and the river Rea, well a mate and I carried the tin bath across the park, and went down the river Rea from calthorpe Park down to Aston, couldn't go any farther because there was a grid across the river to stop rubbish, so we had to stop there, mind you it was hell of a long walk back home in our swiming gear, happy it was summer, and did we get some funny looks, and now when I remember the tin bath, it was'nt the bath nights but the adventure, in water that was only 1ft ( 30cm) deep in the middle,
PS: it was not the same bath we had, but another bath from the people who left it outside all day,
