I'm still laughing.... ! I come from the North East of England. Imagine a scene from Victorian times... lots of streets of terrace houses, 2 rooms upstairs, 2 room downstairs. Mother is washing a dirty child in a tin bath in the front room by the coal fire. Father is on his way home from the pit. This is an era before we had bathrooms with inside toilets so people used to nip outside to the bottom of the yard and use the outside loo. This brick built outside toilet was called a "netty". It's a term that's just used in that part of England. The term is still in use even though we now have inside bathrooms (in most houses!!!). The phase "built like a brick netty" is one that is sometimes used to describe a rather large and stocky person. Enjoy your Neti pot ;-) Al ----- Original Message ----- From: "liz butek" <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, September 23, 2000 9:50 AM Subject: Re: [P-F] Immune System Promoting Herbs > I swear by the Neti pot.
