Luxury! I can remember being bathed in a copper.Mr Someone, did you have a wood chip heater for the bath? They were fabulous and puffed away with a steady whoof-whoof. There was a funnel on the top. Much more fun than city gas geysers. All you had to do was lean over and drop in some wood from the bucket if the bath or shower ran cold, but my elders rationed the wood. That also rationed water.
