Pulled off someone's bathroom walls, with more to come.

But no more pictures. Sorry. 😳

Chicken style Grin

We had those in the bathroom of the house I grew up in. The ones where the 'chicken' was upside down used to really annoy me.

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 27/03/2019 22:33

Trying again.

Nope.

Even though I've only posted one picture today, Mumsnet won't let me post more. Sorry. 😳😳😳

My Dad tiled our bathroom in those in the 70s. He didn’t realise there was a pattern so they were all completely random.

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 27/03/2019 22:35

I keep trying, but nothing's happening......

We used to have the salmon pink colour in our kitchen.

We had paint to match too....

Wow, wow, wow! We had these in our house when I was 8! It was actually our granny's house which we moved into so quite some years old. I cannot imagine actually buying these, ergh!!

PhannyMcNee · 27/03/2019 22:36

My mum still has these in pink in her original 60s bathroom. She says it’s retro and there’s no pint replacing it because it works and when she dies the people who buy her house will rip it all out anyway!

Miltonroad · 27/03/2019 22:37

We had a random pattern too - upside down and sideways chickens 😂

FelixTitling · 27/03/2019 22:37

Why is it Chicken Style?

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 27/03/2019 22:38

If you look carefully, you could trace a kind of chick in the coloured parts.

Sometimes called 'Chicken in a Thunderstorm'.

felix because there’s a sideways chicken in it if you stare st it long enough. It’s a bit like those 3D puzzle pictures but even older

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 27/03/2019 22:41

There you go! Done it! 😁

We had these in the 90s in my bathroom in blue! Don’t think they are ready to come back yet though...

PhannyMcNee · 27/03/2019 22:43

Shown my Mum the screenshots. She informs me there is also a box of ‘spares’ in her loft. She’s sitting on a goldmine Grin

Toddlerteaplease · 27/03/2019 23:14

We had those. Saw a house on Rightmove that still had them. Was tempted to buy it on that basis.

Heratnumber7 · 27/03/2019 23:16

EVERYBODY had those tiles in the 70s. I've half a mind to buy them.

EnidButton · 27/03/2019 23:17

I've never seen them before. I wouldn't have them but they're not that bad...are they?

I can't see a chicken though 🧐

boatyardblues · 27/03/2019 23:21

We had the avocado on white version in our first house, along with an absolutely bombproof cast iron avocado tub and suite. We only updated the bathroom (white suite) to sell. I still feel the avocado tub was better.

BackforGood · 27/03/2019 23:25

Is there a household that didn't have them in the 70s and 80s ?

MaudAndOtherPoems · 27/03/2019 23:27

These still adorn my mother’s bathroom, but even now I can’t see the chicken.

Palominoo · 27/03/2019 23:28

H&R textured vein tile.

You can make out the chicken a lot more in this one.

Think chick, not chicken.
Beak towards top left.

EnidButton · 27/03/2019 23:36

I think I can see it. It's very vague though. I kind of like them!
