The 3 kids playing on the coke (I think that must be me in the middle) look rather happy to be doing so which kinda implies that I hadn't learned my lesson

I've no real experience of playing on coke but I love the adverts

You look lovely in the piccie Bunny - although I thought you'd have longer hair

That is filthy!

Sweet pic .

Coke is coal treated to remove some of the toxins which cause smoke. It's much lighter than coal and, as Bunny says, is difficult to light. Once it's lit, it give out lots of heat.

I remember when our area went smokeless, most people bought equal quantities of coke and coal as coal was so much cheaper.

Here endeth today's Northern lesson for softy Southerners.

I must say it was very good of the school to put such a tempting means of getting filthy in such easy reach of you

It was good of them, wasn’t it?

Coming to think of it the teacher that made me do that should’ve written an apology to me for not fencing the coke heap off.

I won’t tell you about the sweet I peeled off the floor in the same playground and then ate. I only did it to build up my immune system


I won’t post this in that other thread cos I don’t want to embarrass you (but I will anyway) - they are incredibly beautiful...

When I tell my kids in school about measuring the frost on the inside of the bedroom windows in the morning when I was a kid, the look of disbelief on their innocent little faces is a hoot!! They look at me as if I'm a complete fossil.

They just don't know hard do they

When people get cold, what is wrong with just putting more clothes on.

Anyways, it was great, just snuggling under blankets and duvets.

I remember the pictures on the window - they were lovely - I remember kicking piles of Autumn leaves on my way to school as well....all the wonderful colours

Such pretty patterns the old Jack Frost left on the inside of our windows......and to sit on the loo seat in the morning made you feel alive

It certainly did

Ooh, and a hot water bottle

I don't want to go all Monty Python on y'all but from the ages of 13-17 (left home at 17) and the ages of 26-30 I didn't have any heating cos my Dad's house was... well - won't go into it.

I hand-washed everything in the bath at my Dad’s – no washing machine or nuffin

I slept in a showbox in the middle of t’road an’ all

Not as posh as you might think – it was for a size 3 shoe and the lid got nicked by some poorer people who lived near the grid.

A coke-themed incident from my impoverished (more impoverished than Syd's) childhood...

My first bike was second hand - bought of a neighbour. I was riding it to the end of the street and some members of a horror family spotted me and recognised the bike - and an older lad threw some coke in my face because he said I'd nicked the bike
