    Question DOES A Bath A Day Keep The "Cobwebs" Away?

    Hmm ... there can be few among us who aren't familiar with the old adage, "An apple a day, *keeps the doctor away". Matter of fact, I'm munching one as I type.

    Actually, though, how much truth there is in *that, of course, is ... ... ANYONE'S guess. Ask Doc Alan.

    But in an interview with 'The Times' newspaper, Tim Loughton, the MP for East Worthing & Shoreham - and Tory backbencher - extols the virtues of steeping for an hour in a warm bubblebath first thing each morning ... providing you don't doze off in the process!

    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/n...work-xr0lgmv75 ...

    According to Mr Loughton, his morning ritual cleanses the body, while clearing the mind.

    Hence my analogous mention of "cobwebs"
    which, in the context, serves a dual purpose.

    Oops... thanks for the reminder Arthur.

    I do like to have a bath or shower at least once a month, whether needed or not.

    Tbh, ... I'm inclined to agree; (whenever time permits my taking one) I find a luxurious, lo~ng soak ooo much more relaxing.

    Sadly there is no bath provided in my lovely little OAP bungy, BUT I do have a nice fold-away seat, should I start feeling a little tired while taking my shower.

    Aww ... 's a shame, Graham. Seems to be the modern trend, in order to minimise the risk of older people emerging from a bathtub and slipping in the process.

    Ahh well ... ... at least that's some compensation, I suppose.

    Yes... maybe useful in the future, when I become a 'proper' old dodderer.
