I never had 'rags' in my hair, had hatefully curly hair, we used to 'iron our hair' on ironing board to try and straighten!

Knitted swimwear which grewwwwww and went more than baggy when wet!

I used to love my rags VC!

Then heated rollers came along....my young aunts used the sap from crushed walnuts as a homemade version of tanning lotion on their legs

.......using brown paper, in our house! Better than the fire-heated curling tongs/straighteners!

My mother used to iron her hair straight!...

Cardboard wrapped blocks of ice cream which usually partially melted on the bus on the way home ( didn't have a car , who did ) then slicing it after re freezing with a carving knife and putting between 2 soggy wafers that had been in the bag with it on the way home , with a bit of jam mixed with golden syrup from an impossible to open slightly rusty tin as sauce

When my nan was alive she use to like tomato sandwiches. It had to be white Danish bread, sliced tomato and a little salt. Not to much as it would ruin the taste and to little and it wouldn't enhance the flavour of the tomato. It was one of her favourites.
I'm afraid I have developed the taste for it now. Must be getting old.

my dad would sprinkle sugar on his toms and I tried it once, its not too bad...

My dad used to have sugar on lettuce. His idea of a salad was a bowl full of lettuce, a couple of quarterd tomatoes, sliced cucumber and some gibbons (spring onions) - all covered in sugar
