Good afternoon
Does anybody know the origin of the phrase "Bungalow bath" ? Had a discussion with a family member yesterday and neither of us know.
Many thanks

Great reasoning Redman !! See from your avatar you have the Merchant Service badge - can I assume you are either serving or ex Merchant Navy ? My late Dad was a Merchant Seaman and was with the Arctic Convoys during WW2, serving mainly on tankers.

This suggests that it was a tin bath with a lid, in the kitchen http://www.plumstead-...lwich%20childhood.htm

Seeing this brings back an awful lot of memories. I was born and bred in Fulham (born 1948) and these views of life are so reminiscent of mine - many thanks for the link.
