"Don't just sit there, George - get a house renovation grant." : If you need an inside lavoratory, proper bathroom or a hot water supply, see about a free grant at your town hall / Department of the Environment and the Welsh Office.

Poster issued by the Department of the Environment in 1978 offering grants for modernization of houses to improve domestic sanitation. This one shows a fat woman (viewed from behind) standing in a bath tub in front of a fire hearth, a red towel raised in front of her to shield her from a window cleaner. Her husband is reading a newspaper in an armchair in front of her. It is illustrated in the style of the Bamforth traditional seaside postcards and was apparently banned by at least one council.
