Playing with cardboard boxes and stuff

Re: Playing with cardboard boxes and stuff

Did anybody else while away the time playing with a kitchen sink full of water? I did this quite often, especially at my gran's where there was less to play with. I liked to get old tea bags and split them and play with the leaves in the water, then there was the ladle, collander, seive and funnel to mess about with. Gran always had a bar of red soap at the kitchen sink. I'm guessing this is a really old-fashioned thing and would have been a proper type of kitchen soap. It smelled a bit like carbolic soap but not quite. Anybody know what the brand of soap might have been?

I only remember playing with a sink full of water once we all got soaked as did the kitchen getting me as the oldest into big trouble once was enough as for the soap could it have been coal tar.

Our tent used dining chairs and some of the material left over from the curtain covers.
