That will be one of the shops between the Telephone Exchange & Fraser the undertaker, what a change one is now a Polish shop.

When the Dalai Lama visited Sneck

In your front room

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Was this the first time that subs were used at Telford Street ?

[+bughtmaster]

Caley 3 v Thistle 0  with Willie Collums grandfather at the front saying now where did I put my notebook........no cards in them days

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Well how many had this under your bed and what did you call it

[Sneckboy]

You'd probably call it 'hair-of-the-dog'!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Don't be so potty

[Charles Bannerman]

I will own up to a little blue enamel potty when I was small

 

Think of it though. Back in the days when the only "facility" many people had was an outside toilet and you needed "biggies" during the night. You would be faced with the choice of walking the length of the back garden in a blizzard in the pitch dark or having your business sit stinking beneath your bed until you got up in the morning

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I called mine Callum Chanty

[Sneckboy]

Nice thought - CB's "biggies" sitting under the bed all night....

(surely time for Family Guy reference)

.....who's for chowder?!!!

[Scarlet Pimple]

IHE--you are awful. Would it therefore be a calumnity if it tipped over when you turned over in bed? Then you would have to calimb out of bed and fix it.

 

The name in our family a lo-ooo-oo-on-g time ago was "Popo".

 

I am not sure but I think my sister might have used it for her Pot Pouri later on in life.

Glad I am not old enough to have had that experience!  It was bad enough with no electricity and having to use a torch when you had to go in the night.

This may put some in a spin !

[Charles Bannerman]

Pretty "modern" kit that. Not a sign of a 78 rpm setting.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Here yo go then

[caley100]

Looks like CB'S dinner table.... i'd guess

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Aye and there is a full potty underneath as well

[+weeman]

I'd be a bit worried about the tin of penetrating oil

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Ever played this

[Charles Bannerman]

A kazoo!!!!     Haven't seen one for years!

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

And this ?

[IBM]

That must be weeman's uncle
