I grew up in a Cork City where it was commonplace....

Saw a post on FBOOK....Lady looking for advice...How do i make my front entrance look more attractive?
A fella replied.....Shave it,

"Last chicken in Sainsburys" was a Billy Connolly reference to a certain appendage but the whole shaven thing doesn't do much for me tbh, and the stubble when it grows back scratches like hell on the sensitive bits...er....so I've been told 😜
 
Back in the day, when we were surrounded by fields full of moo cows, and we knew all of their names, and they'd ramble over for a chat if we passed by and gave us all the ska about who had hidden a pack of 10 woodbines, and where..............but I digress. There was a time when our household of seven had a bar of lifebuoy soap that seemed to last a year. In between uses it dried out and cracked and took ages to get up a lather. Now, our guest bathroom (yes, we're fancy) has a bitter orange, pink pepper and hay hand wash and if you were bold enough to foul the air you could spray a fresh dew and white jasmine odour neutralizer to save your blushes. If my mother was alive and I told her this she'd grab me by the scruff of the neck and drag me up to the local parish priest to have the demons cast out.

I'm just wondering where they get the fresh dew from? Is there a gang of Chinese children up at the crack of dawn and out with their tiny syringes, sucking small droplets of dew off the blades of grass? Or, probably more likely a lab produced cornucopia of 40 artificial chemicals that some marketing person sniffed and said: that's it, that's fresh dew. Lob it into the bottles there lads and lassies. We're made for life.
