Re: Childhood Memories.
Another one without central heating, originally we had an open fire.
We used to hold a sheet of newspaper over the opening to "Draw" the fire. It was a major step up when we got a "Gas Poker" - anyone else remember them?
A special treat was toast or crumpet done by the fire.
The worst aspect was both parents smoking like chimneys, I spent most of my childhood with Asthma or Bronchitus.
After leaving home at 18 I have never had either again!
