Default Re: Belling electric fire, all three bars work.

The answer to that is that people just developed strong immune systems or died. There were still quite a few houses with only one outside loo when I was young. Next door to us they had an inside bathroom fitted and left the outside loo still in working order. Anyone that got too fat to fit in a tin bath could not get clean easily. The pipes remain in working order in our back garden although the loo itself was demolished long ago.
