In 1979 Jilly Cooper wrote a non-fiction book called Class. In it she, upper-middle class or higher, said something along the lines of:
Women - the lower classes - will put a box of Omo in their window to let their lover know 'Old Man Out,' and it was safe for him to go in.
I suspect this is an urban legend but the packet of Omo on the jigsaw reminded me.
