what smells do you remember

[Dizzy Lizzy]

The smell of chlorine on approach to Accy baths and the smell of the vinegar on your chips afterwards.

Most times I could only afford a "bag of bits" - but they tasted just as good, drowning in vinegar.

After the baths on Saturday we used to go in the Market Hall & get a bag of broken biscuits. Or if it was a morning swim before school a fresh baked Hovis cob (looked like a small loaf) from the bakers near Morts.

The chippy couldn't have been open, then you wouldn't have gone for the biscuits.

The old lady didn't open the chippy on a satrday lunch time, though If my memory serves me right she did open in the evening....to catch the drinkers from the John Smiths pub on the corner....'The Junction'.

One not so pleasant smell was the 'botty burps' after being given the spring clean mixture of treacle and sulphur...my wicked brothers used to save their wind up for bedtime.....let off and then waft the blankets so we all got a whiff.......orrible!

Same here used to love those chips! Went into this chippy just before it closed down on a walk home from a session in town. The place was filthy and the chips didn't taste the same at all!!!! Another memory shattered!!!

One smell that has stuck with me, was the first time I ever went on holiday to Spain by air, the shear smell of heat when you stepped of the plane at 3 o'clock in the morning, something that's impossible to reproduce over here

I have a theory, regarding smells, and this thread is too good an oportunity not to air it.

Not a very pleasant subject, so please forgive me.

Poo.

Probably the first smell we experience.

Our own doesn't smell, at least to ourselves, but I have a theory that neither does our mother's, because we got used to it in the womb.

Going into the loo after any other family member....yuk.

A visit to the smallest room, after it's been used by the person that carried us for nine months, ten in my case, equals no horrid stench.

Any comments much appreciated.

Either I'm on to something, or else my mum poops rose petals.

To ourselves.

If going to the loo makes you retch, you perhaps need to look at your diet.

[davebtelford]

I read somewhere that the sense of smell is the first sense we develop - seems strange, as the foetus doesn't breath.

Peg who?

Do I know her?

[jaysay]

As anybody noticed Garinda has just come back from holiday and tone on here as degenerated to the low levels again
