I know you're not, we had one too! A tin bath in front of the fire on a Sunday night, water being heated in a big 'copper'. I tell my kids, they don't believe me.

It sounds like you had a very interesting childhood with periods spent abroad just like I did. My Dad was trying to get a better life for us, unfortunately it failed several times but I can't fault him for trying.
