No, but my grandpa had one and my cousins had one in their play room for some reason, as I remember one of them pretending to stick their tongue in it.

Did anyone have one of these? Don't know how to describe it.

was there a ..... in your childhood home?
echt · 11/09/2023 05:28

No. But I think it's just called a kitchen cabinet. I had one in the first flat I bought.

A pantry shelf called a stone - made , unsurprisingly of stone and in lieu of a fridge.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 11/09/2023 16:43

@meagaein we didn't have one if those in my childhood home, but we had one in a student flat I rented in the 1990s, and MiL still has the one from her childhood home. In both instances, that piece of furniture was called a "press".

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 11/09/2023 16:45

A washbasin/vanity unit type thing shut away in a cupboard in a bedroom.

medianewbie · 12/09/2023 08:18

No (washbasin in a newsroom cupboard). We didn't have an inside bathroom for ages (tin bath in 1970's)
