"In front of our three bar electric fire glowing seriously orange "

With the frayed cloth flex, and Arthur Brown doing Fire on TOTP in black and white!

Also a tin basin in the kitchen for baths and the dreaded outside bog, all dark and spidery with a chain pull flush.

On Tyneside mothers used to leave their babies outside in prams for the fresh air when it was sunny. It was a favourite horrible small boys prank to tweak their noses and wake them up on the way home from school.

My school was just down the road from Swan Hunters and we'd get a morning off to watch a minor royal launch a big ship when completed because almost everybody's dad worked there (mine worked at Reyrolles though). Seeing 100,000+ tonners sliding into the Tyne was memorable.

I'm sure I read somewhere it's because we used to feed dogs bones from the butchers shop and the marrow? from the raw bones affected their poo. We don't do that now as far as I know.

Dad cutting a candle in half and putting it in a terracotta plant pot on the outside toilet window sill. Then putting another upside down on top of that. It's amazing how much heat a single candle can generate inside a couple of plant pots. A little light too. Don't try it with plastic ones guys

Oh yes: lovely girl.

Which convinced absolutely nobody.
