When I was young in Liverpool, England, in many British households, Monday was wash day. The dirty family clothes would be put into a dolly tub of hot water, soap added, and a wooden paddle (a posser) used to stir and agitate the clothes for a very long time. After several rinses, the wet washing would be pegged out on the line (in the backgarden, the backyard, or even in the back-entry in some city areas of closely built terraced housing). A constant look out for rain had to be kept - especially in rainy Britain.
All that changed with the invention of the washing machine. With a modern electrical washing machine, the family clothes can be washed and spun almost dry in one go, taking less than a couple of hours. On a rainy day, the damp clothes can be dried in a tumble drier. So what took all day (wash day Monday) now takes a couple of hours or more.
