Did you know that sex starved housewives used to leave a box of Omo on show in their kitchen window so that randy tradesmen knew that the Old Man was Out ?

My Mum and my Aunt once joked that OMO stood for 'Old Man Out' and that a certain neighbour had one in her front window on occasion...... Can't imagine what they were getting at....

And what ever happened to Lux soap flakes..??
