I remember.....

[Lady Felicia]

Those bloomin' awful Kung Fu pajamas back in my youth, which were made out of 100% nylon. If you scratched your **** during the night you got a shock. If you turned over, the bed area filled with crackles and sparks.... and any attempt to have a 'quick shufty' resulted in (what felt like) severe cattle prodding to the gentleman's area. What sadist came up with these?!

I seem to remember warming yourself in front of the fire had dire results.

I feel your pain. My dad took the legs off the bed and it actually helped reduce the issue somewhat. Although I wasn’t keen on being so close to the ground, the fear was it allowed spiders to get at me more easily, but on the plus side the monster under the bed had gone, though I had to find somewhere else to hide my used tissues.

Mine were gold with black trim. Posh eh?

Although I was not wearing them an elder brother still has a pop at me about a fireplace event. From when I was a very small kid.

The metal and glass door of the fire opened onto my leg. In shock I just said "move me I'm burning".

I’m sure it wasn’t a laughing matter but that made me smile.

See also.... Etch a Sketch and Spirograph..... can you imagine giving those to a kid today? They'd probably take legal action against you for mistreatment!

I once caught fire whilst wearing a shell suit. To be fair it was in my melting stuff phase so it was probably a valuable lesson.

I was kindly given an electric blanket as a young kid.
Unfortunately I was a bed wetter so was constantly electrocuting myself.

I had nylon pyjamas AND nylon sheets. Christ knows how I managed to stay in bed.

The sickness was foreeeever

I don't think it counts as posh if you're using tissues. No matter how smart they look.

Should I go back and edit my original post to suggest I felt it was posh, otherwise your post above will seem a little odd?

Melting stuff …….. I remember those days
