I cannot remember this , but it must have been so. I know why I am confused here though. I'd left Wales and gone to North Essex to teach. I was in "digs" in a council house and the boxroom had been converted and had a "copper" which was filled by bucket and emptied by hand pump. Memory of this must have blocked out the other. I remember that, after I had left home, the company had put a water heater into an alcove so the tank was cuboid!
