There's a little bridge in Tamworth, by the Audi garage, if I go over it at anything above 20-25, my tummy does gambols (as I used to say as a kid!). As @Seat68 says, I quite like it! I deliberately speed up at this same bridge because the missus hates it for the same reasons as you but dislike rather than like and take it around 40 to 50mph, I tend to distract her by talking to her so she does not realise it’s going to hit. Similar type bridge on the other way into Tamworth just down from the Fox So you can do both in one day if you’re crafty about it Edited January 23, 2022 by Follyfoot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start a new bar it takes a while for it to get a good lather from it. It would make sense as you could imagine if stored in damp conditions it could deteriorate. I realise in making this post I have opened up almost unlimited opportunities for ridicule but it is just something I have often wondered about. All the soap we buy here in Perth is usually in a wrapper.Usually the wrapper is made out of paper with a brand name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's in wrapping but damp conditions can probably get through wrapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you reside in some form of living museum? Can't remember the last time we bought an actual bar of soap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use shower gel on my hair though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I actually like to use a bar of soap in the shower. Somehow feel cleaner for using one instead of shower gel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
