hiya sylvia those coal fires, if you sat to close to them you got fire marks lol. when we had a coal fire when we first wed. it was all new to me cos my mam was the fire beater at home. so if the fire did not light first time for me , i threw a load of sugar on it and whoosssssssss it looked like i was sending smoke signals from the chimney, but ay ho it was lit lol x

Yes, isn't it lovely to reminisce? I remember sitting by the open coal fire, burning my legs in front and my back was freezing. We used to listen to the radio 'Dick Barton, special agent' which was quite thrilling. Also Mrs Dales Diary and not to forget the horse racing and football on a Saturday. That is if the accumulator didn't run out from the radio. It was my job to take the accumulator and have it charged when it ran out. Knitted swimming costumes which fell to your knees when you went into the water. Black stockings and lace up shoes. The rag and bone man. Most of the things that I remember have already been said.
