They were indoor airers Terri, I suppose UK weather being what it is you need somewhere to hang the washing to dry during all that rain lol!!
Ellie: I used to have my nappy bucket sat in the bath next to the loo, we had to dosh the dirty nappy down the loo while flushing.. keeping a tight grip so it didn't go round the bend, then staight into a bucket of Napisan. Oh the joys of motherhood, but like you as I already said earlier in the post I LOVED to see a line of pure white nappies on the line..ONLY ZORBIT nappies I might add, not that I could afford the gold deluxe version, mind you my first born was only 4lb 2oz when I brought him home, and getting those big nappies on him was difficult until I was shown how to fold them in the chinese style, worked a treat then... He's 25 and getting married in August!! :lol:
