    Things you rarely smell nowadays.

    Must be the cold weather as twice this week my nose has been assaulted with a blast from the past.

    Mothballs

    Vick

    Culprits always old people!

    I can't comment on the mothballs but I always find that Vick is the best thing to help relieve cold symptoms. It won't cure it of course, but it helps keep the 'tubes clear' at night. (Oh! and I don't consider myself that old).

    Mothballs definitely gone, I don't think anyone leaves clothing or soft furnishings untouched or unused, plus of course widespread of synthetic fibres is no use to the larvae of the moth, just had a quick look on good old internet, masses of products available and a surprising number of people troubled by the little b######s.

    A lot of people of all ages still use Vicks products to help clear bunged up breathing equipment.

    We live in a town with a heritage steam train running all year around.
    We can see the smoke plumes and hear the hoots from our house.

    Funerals are mothball revival time!

    I once bought some vintage knitted baby clothes from ebay they came complete with moth holes.

    Now it's all that water-based rubbish that doesn't last 5 minutes.
