I remember that oil that everyone used to wear was all the rage when i was in primary school. I asked my mam if i could have some and she flipped, she said people used it to mask the scent of drugs (Didnt ask her how she knew at the time, but she did go through the 60's as a teen like)
Cant remember the name of the oil, but it had a well clean smell like.
Also remember a tree up in Parc Howard that me and the boys aptly named the 'spunk tree.' It was right by the mansion, and everytime we passed it, we all commented on how it smelt like the baby gravy we all produced in mass quantities during our teenage years.
Oh teenage years, how great they were. I'll always remember walking home along Pembrey Rd as a 14 year old spotty teenager when some 6th form bird, who had obviously got home before us, flashed her norks to us from her front room. Pressed right up against the glass on her window they were, lovely shape to them, or am i just reminiscing. They didnt smell of anything like, im just reminiscing about my youth like.........................

The lanes around Pembrey Rd were full of milky bar dog shit in the 80s, but it has almost all but disapeared nowadays. Is it down to political correctiveness, I dont know, but i reckon if you pickled a dog shit in insignia you would have a perfect retro white dog turd.

Aye nice smell that was rap. Also loved the smell of the bakery in tesco when i walked from my grans to special school. Also remember them there soda streams had a unique smell, especially when you spilt the flavours All over the kitchen table. Roy Munsters birthday parties up the Stradey Park Hotel also had unique smells, the smell of cream rubbed in your best globber after James lee had lost the plot. I also remember snogging a girl under the arches in school to jennifer rush.s power of love song. Her breath smelt of milk as if she had been given a glass by her mam before the disco. Didnt matter tho, I still got a bulge on coz i loves milk. As a graig boy the musky scent of Groins office will always live with me. Like a mix of coffee, blood, sweat, and white tears!

Summer of 76; who can forget it. The clouds disappeared from the sky in May, and didn't return until September. Perfect blue sky for four to five months. And the smells, well the smell of burning gorse all around the village. I love the smell of burning gorse in the morning.

[QUOTE=scarletabroad][QUOTE=jeremy windell]I remember that oil that everyone used to wear was all the rage when i was in primary school. I asked my mam if i could have some and she flipped, she said people used it to mask the scent of drugs (Didnt ask her how she knew at the time, but she did go through the 60's as a teen like)
Cant remember the name of the oil, but it had a well clean smell like.
Also remember a tree up in Parc Howard that me and the boys aptly named the 'spunk tree.' It was right by the mansion, and everytime we passed it, we all commented on how it smelt like the baby gravy we all produced in mass quantities during our teenage years.
Oh teenage years, how great they were. I'll always remember walking home along Pembrey Rd as a 14 year old spotty teenager when some 6th form bird, who had obviously got home before us, flashed her norks to us from her front room. Pressed right up against the glass on her window they were, lovely shape to them, or am i just reminiscing. They didnt smell of anything like, im just reminiscing about my youth like......................... Petunia Oil my brother used to wash in it] |
Patchouli Oil was the choice of the Denim & Leather brigade ....
Petunia Oil was more likely to be found by the Lavender Bags heavilly favoured by those knitting Evans' Cardi's you obviously met my brother then it used to stink the house out but the bottle seemed to last forever and it was only tiny] |
Agreed my twin brother used to use that smelly oil stuff and that tiny bottle did indeed last for decades......

Superb trident, two stroke engines and partially burnt oil, fantastic mun, you could smell em for miles. Suzi X7, GT 250 Ram Air, Kawasaki KH 250 triple all.with Micron pipes and black ozzing stuff dripping out of the tailpipe and clouds of blue smoke when they were wheelied and you couldnt see where the bike had gone, ah those were the days. ...... Havent seen a KH 250 for about 25 years, would love to have one tbh....

F**K, I was soooooo close getting those correct! Toffee were the red ones, I was convinced that they were nut!!!
The Jubilee Pool, what a stinking place that was, but the Cafe overlooking at the top used to do a beast of a 10p mix on a Saturday morning before playing football against the Marsh Rovers on Poeples Park!!!! LOL

That'll be the one! You used to have to apply for a pass to go out at lunch and have chips, but yeah, we used to go across the top rugby pitches, or through the bushes by Fewsters hut!
no passes required in 84/85 just fast legs and don't get caught by the teacher patrol espeacially Gary Martin he was quite fast!! -+

The ultimate smell for me was walking through the back lane of Jenkins the Bakers on New Dock road when they used to do all the baking on site the smell was awesome fresh bread and cakes dribbling at the very thought of it.
