Actually it stems from the days of "the great unwashed" when most of the population didn't have stuff like running water freely available and half the population were living in poverty and squalor and soap and hot baths was a luxury only afford by the mid to upper class.

We've kind of moved on since then. I even have 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets in my house.... I kid you not!

And I expect most would have been your relatives from way back anyway
