Remember those well. Bathed and then wrapped up in a towel to sit in front of it. Also eating breakfast in the morning in front of it before school. This was before the economy 7 storage heaters, which if I remember correctly were an absolute waste of time !
As a child whilst on family holiday in Keswick, I grabbed a penny off my dad and ventured into the public loos, penny went in, I used the loo but the bloody door would not open and I was stuck inside, eventually my dad came looking for me and had to put another penny in to free me. I've had a public loo phobia ever since.
Oh no it isn't!Because it's @Coffin Dodger !!
In the 1930’s there was an un-earthed 15 amp 2-pin socket in our bathroom specifically for such an electric fire. One day a 2-year old cousin of mine was left sitting on his potty close to it, and he found a bent Kirby grip on the floor. When he pushed the ends into the socket, the neutral must have connected first, because the main fuse blew and he was unharmed. Phew!
My brother in law still uses one with lard not oil. Makes some lovely chips thoughRemember when every kitchen had one of these -
