To think it is posh and or pretentious to say you are "drawing" a bath?

[OonaStubbs]

What do you think. My DP always says this but I think it is very strange and old fashioned to say this instead of just saying you are running a bath?

Thinking of drawing, it will be the winter equinox in Australia on or round about 21st June, at which point I message all my UK friends to say our days are drawing out, while their nights are drawing in.

To be fair, the coldest parts of the Melbourne winter happen after this date, as the hottest days of the UK summer do the same. At least in London, which I know well.

For me it's about the light. Can't be doing with dark mornings.

Isn’t it a dialect thing? A Scottish housemate used to say she was going to ‘pour’ a bath.

You're not wrong, it was a flippant comment 😀

God yes,hated dark mornings when I had to drag myself out to work in them. Now I’m retired and can just lie in bed with a cup of tea they don’t seem so bad!

Nothing to do with the thread really but, as a child I would ask my Mum, what can I draw? She would reply, draw your breath.

My older friend used to say, after eating, "Have you had an elegant sufficiency to suit your delicacy?" (laughing). It must be a quote - I am off to look it up.
