banjo48 928 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smiffy49 590 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

68fb 0 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 We used to live just above the Stoke Bardolph sewage settling ponds (Emerys Road), there could be a hum from there on occasion Remember many a tomato plant popping up there also from time to time this would not be far from the railway sidings back of Netherfield, great playground for a youngster 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!
