Remember when we had housewives who cooked, washed, ironed, shopped, hoovered, put the kettle on, made the beds, washed the windows and the doorstep, swept the yard, took kids to school, bandaged knees, smacked bums/legs, attended to husbands needs if she didn't have a headache, managed the budget etc etc.

Hi Granny, yes I washed those pongy items in a twin tub, and strangely enough Sunny I replaced the rubber seal on my pressure cooker only yesterday, surely they're not out of fashion now are they? And even stranger Granny I'm cooking stew for tea tomorrow. Crazy world.

Now (lots of) women do all that and contribute to the family income too.

Surely 'lamb hotpots', 'scouse' and 'stews' are not distant memories, yet??

Still cooked frequently here!!

Although to be fair- cooked in a Slow Cooker as opposed to a Pressure Cooker

Distant memories here because I hated them, particularly hot pot.

They weren't cooked in a pressure cooker either.
