Does anyone here still use a paraffin heater? Using this type of heater makes a smell on your clothes. I haven't smelt that smell for years, but it's one of those familiar smells from my childhood that makes me feel cosy and brings back nice memories.

I don't like gas fires. I have one but have never put it on . I put the radiators on instead.

Same here. Can't remember the last time I put the gas fire on.

Paraffin heaters were what my grandfather always used in his green house, so the smell brings back happy childhood memories for me too.

Good for you. I hope they do a piece on it too.

I went to the local tip today and they told me to stop putting cardboard into the cardboard recycling skips as they said I had too much. How can they complain I have too much? Surely the more I give them the better.

Tell them to shove it and that you won't bother bringing it anymore.

How stupid. What would they like you to do with it?

Our local tip is run by SITA not the council and if you take too much cardboard they try to bill you. Before you can even enter the site they want your name, address and vehicle registration. Today I met a lovely man from the council who showed me a place to put my cardboard.
