The smell of cigars at Christmas............The men in my family only ever smoked cigars then......still reminds me of christmas when I smell one........Also the smell of boiled cabbage in carbonated

The smell in the air on November 6th every year of last night's fireworks. Loved it, very evocative.

DAVE48 - My dad always carved the meat, (can smell it now).....He was the head of the house, what he said was law............

The smell of pipe tobacco when we visited my great aunt and uncle, he hardly ever lit it but always had it in his mouth, cannot remember the brand of tobacco but not one of the mainstream varieties.

I hate smoking, but always remember that with a smile.

Probably "Clan" or Holland House" both had distinctive smells and not mainstream brands.

When I was at school they introduced the new Daimler buses to NCT. It would be about 1962. There was a distinctive smell about them and it has just assaulted my nostrils for the first time in many years. Funny how a smell can evoke strong memories.

First holiday in a caravan as a youngster.

The smell of the caravan gas lights mingled with the aroma of egg and bacon cooking.

Odd one this...... the smell of a brand new comic from the camp shop.

We used to live just above the Stoke Bardolph sewage settling ponds (Emerys Road), there could be a hum from there on occasion :wacko: Remember many a tomato plant popping up there also from time to time :P this would not be far from the railway sidings back of Netherfield, great playground for a youngster :biggrin:

I was at Chandos School at the time & the Cross Country we did always skirted these ponds, can't imaging that happening today, or the School visit to the Sewage Works themselves with the inevitable accident WTF! :ohmy:
