    Me too ... oops does that say anything about our ages. :eek:

    Probably - I used to play with the 'panshon set' (companion set) whilst mum did the thing with the ash pan and relaid the newspaper and sticks. We had many a near blaze when the newspaper over the fireguard 'drawing' the fire to burn well set alight. I suppose I am lucky to have survived childhood ...

    Oh I used to love the little shovel and brush .... aahhh, gone are the days of setting the fire, or kindling the fire depending on where you come from, oh yes drawing it too, paper over all the front, getting carried away reading the damn thing and it going up in flames. Woohooo, memories eh.!!

    Us kids used to sit there watching the spreading scorch mark and only yelling for an adult when the flames appeared! Happy days ... :)

    Did you ever get red hot coal popping out of the fire and onto the hearth rug. :eek:

    Frequently - and the burn marks on the rug to prove it! That was when the fireguard was not in front for some reason.

    I'm still lucky enough to have a coal fire!

    This site is registered to a "Kevin Monaghan". He has also registered as a "Non-Trading Individual" so I await the launch of this site that does not trade at all but does give away free gifts !
