Stayed in spiders and nissen huts with stoves in various places and never had a problem. The youngsters these days would be bamboozled by the thought of lighting a stove,never having been outside a gas fired centrally heated house. I remember one of my brother's daughter being fascinated by my mother's open fire and she made a toasting fork from a wire coat hanger to show her how to make toast the old way.

Toast on the fire was the best toast going after the old gas cookers. They had to switch from coal gas to natural gas to make it safe, so those inconsiderate fukkers who stuck their nappers in the oven only got a headache.

I remember flying into Luton a few years back and seeing the 'parch' marks of a whole village across the fields and thinking 'Dave would have a great few days here!' You could identify clearly where a church and mansion house had been and about 20 smaller houses,probably abandoned during a plague or something and robbed out to below ground level before grassing over through the centuries.
