Subject: RE: BS: Soap & other cleansers From: Billy the Bus Date: 03 Jun 01 - 04:40 AM Let's get serious..;) This thread started when I bought a cake of Pears Soap at the local shop yesterday. It is still made "By Appointment" to HMtheQueen - and A & J Pears (London) are shown as the manufacturers. Aaaarrgghhh... It's going to be difficult being serious - there's a 1959 recording of Stan Freeburg (sp?) in NZ, on the wireless at the moment..;) Anyway.... I did a check on "A & J Pears" and came up with the following serious link about the history of soap in The Pharmaceutical Journal. Fascinating! I also found another reference to soap - blowing Soap Bubbles - now that was a very serious occupation. Cheers - Sam

If I dig deep enough my PERSIL come up with funds for a BETT-A - if the OLD DUTCH doesn't RINSO the wallet when she washes my strides with that product from the CHEM-I-CO. It's not punny - this thread was supposed to be serious. Sam |

Subject: RE: BS: Soap & other cleansers From: Billy the Bus Date: 03 Jun 01 - 01:45 AM I just knew you lot would SOLVOL my cleaning problems! Even though some brands are unfamiliar to me, it's amazing how many seem to be cosmopolitan. I guess the big soap companies were among the first "internationals" - I know that many small NZ soap-makers got LEVERed out in the sixties. And what a bonus from Metchosin - pass on my thanks to pa-in-law - I've loved Granny's Lye Soap since I was a kid, and helped my Granny's sister make the product in the "copper" (big wood-fired wash boiler). Keep up the good work folks Cheers - Sam

Subject: RE: BS: Soap & other cleansers From: katlaughing Date: 02 Jun 01 - 04:56 PM This looks like a good spot to share my great-granddad's or my granddad's recipe written in one of their Denver Live Stock Commission Company Tally and Brand books. This is copyrighted as it is going to be in the family history book I am writing. Anyway, they call it "Home Brew" but I think it might be better to clean something on the outside with it, rather than the inside.:-)

Subject: RE: BS: Soap & other cleansers From: Metchosin Date: 02 Jun 01 - 04:01 PM Interesting that you should bring up the song Gramma's Lyesoap. The words were written by my father-in law in the early fifties, while he was recuperating in a Veteran's hospital. Johnny Stanley was entertaining in the various veteran's hospitals, in Canada at he time and was stuck for a song for one of his skits. My father-in-law, Bob, came up with the song based upon a real character from his childhood, a Mrs. Billy Clark, of Simpson, Saskatchewan. When Stanley was going to make the record, he asked Bob if he wanted credit for it and my father-in-law suggested he send any royalties for it to the Veterans instead. He never found out if Stanley in fact did, but there is a bit of trivia for you. Bob is still alive and well and playing his fiddle in Victoria, BC at the age of 83. |

Subject: RE: BS: Soap & other cleansers From: Justa Picker Date: 02 Jun 01 - 03:15 PM I had this BRILLO idea but then it went down the DRANO. When I drank from the IRISH SPRING, my impure thoughts were once again purged and I remain forever yours, MR. CLEAN. |

Subject: RE: BS: Soap & other cleansers From: katlaughing Date: 02 Jun 01 - 03:08 PM At 409, I had to be sure the kitchen counters were AJAXed, as well. Then what JOY to do the dishes! Then it was CALGON take me away time! |

Subject: RE: BS: Soap & other cleansers From: Peg Date: 02 Jun 01 - 10:36 AM IVORY-considered my previous thoughts on this matter; and DOVE course you are right... I do not use old-fashioned alkaline soaps any more on my body; prefer olive oil based as they are less drying. I also only use all natural cleansers or the most basic old-fashioned cleaners my home, like Murphy's Oil Soap, baking soda and white vinegar. My neighbors are SIMPLY GREEN with envy at my sparkling, non-toxic home.

Subject: Soaps From: Billy the Bus Date: 02 Jun 01 - 04:45 AM G'day, I'm talking cleansers, not operas... May I hold your Palm Olive? What! Out here in the Sunlight? Not on your Life-Boy! It a-Pears confusing to me - which is transparent to old soapers from way back... And if we must be folking conservative we can discuss recipes for Granny's lye soap...:) Who's into a clean thread? Ma might get grumpy...;) Sam
