I Remember When

I remember when I went to the dentist as a child to have a tooth extracted, the big black mask covering my nose to put me out. I was so scared   -   but I got the dentist back, I wet myself in his chair !!!!

I remember one particular visit to the dentist. It was a two bus ride and like Paulsy  I had a general anaesthetic and whilst under the gas I relived the whole journey right up to the moment I sat in the chair. I woke up just as I was getting into the chair in my dream.

On another occasion I had an appointment to see the school dentist, I got as far as the door and bottled it.

When the drill had pulleys and cables and made a terrible sound....

When  the  anaesthetic  was  not  working  too  well  &  I  made  a  terrible  sound

I remember when my dear old mum used to warm a house brick in the oven for me to take to bed when I was little....she would wrap it in an old sheet and put in my bed to keep me warm.

I remember when on many occasions my Mum could not spare a shilling for the electric meter so we were in sitting by candlelight before being sent off to bed.

 When we had snow at Easter  !!

When snow stopped play at Derbyshire's cricket ground in June

Was  that at  Chesterfield  in 1975  or  1976,  Roger  'cos  I  can't  remember 

I remember when we had to paint on whitener for our white canvas school plimsoles, had a distinctive aroma, I wonder if that is still available to buy.
