Re: Scotland

It only takes a whiff of burning paraffin (kerosene) to take me back to my 1950s childhood. The house toilet was outside. After a lead pipe freeze and leak - my parents added a storm lantern as a source of sufficient heat to prevent the problem recurring. The light was also useful for reading the neatly cut pieces of newspaper hung on the nail behind the door.
