Imperial Leather, but the little foil label can be annoying as it distorts the shape of the bar as it wears down.

It's a built in 'soap saver' meant to stop the bar turning into a soggy mess in the dish.

Does anyone remember soap on a rope?

 

[postman]

None of them. The only soap type programme I watch is Holby City and occasionally Casualty.

Well that is amazing,only last Saturday night i took a call from Mrs P saying she was in Casualty,i watched the whole episode and i never saw her.

I remember Rope a dope,A certain great Mr M Ali.

Is a 'soap' defined by a standardised cast, or a continuous storyline??

If the former, I suggest M*A*S*H
A relatively consistant cast, some humour, some sadness, a morality to it

Too 'close to home' (ie; work)
We gets lots of patients/relatives making the comparison

Then we have to tell them, we can't cure all their issues in 50 minutes, so "Please go sit in the waiting room again!"

We're more like Scrubs!!!
We definitely have a Perry Cox!!!!


And on a M*A*S*H analogy, one of the A&E Consultants still watches it, as he did as a medical student
He & I often decide which character is BJ, Trapper, Hawkeye, Charles, etc...

We certainly have a Charles Emmerson Winchester (the 3rd)
Our 'Hotlips' is...……………………….

I love (not) the papers when they show a photo of a non person with huge boobs trout lips and say Soap star tv star ,i checked the latest this week a few walk on walk past roles and that makes you a STAR sod off.

I do. I got one for Christmas once and I think it went to a charity shop not long after.

So long as I can get up a good lather I'm not fussed.

When I was in the Feds it was normal to watch Casualty/Holby as The Bill was so unrealistic. Conversely, the ambo crews would usually watch The Bill because Casualby was so unrealistic.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I don't watch soaps, either. I just use them when I get dirty.

I find if i do a few bending exercises and waive the whip around a bit before i get going it gets a real good lather on.

Like @Mo1959 we never watch any soap.
Used to watch Corrie until Ena died, does that count ?

Two years earlier, Ernie was shot.

 

[Cycleops]

Here there some imported soaps from India and Spain which are very popular but this is a home grown example. Mainly based around infidelity and family issues but what people here love to see most is fighting;

I thought this was about chemicals and plastic particles in soaps!

Pat, some of us are not on the same wavelength as Drago but that's not something to worry about .
