If I'm right, I don't think most of our younger members will know what I'm talking about!
But then, of course, I could be completely wrong on both counts...
I think the answer could be coal.
If I'm right, I don't think most of our younger members will know what I'm talking about!

I think you are right... good ole coal..
If I'm right, I don't think most of our younger members will know what I'm talking about!
But then, of course, I could be completely wrong on both counts...
I think the answer could be coal.
I know what coal is, we had open fires at our last house. I remember the coal man coming every week to fill our bunkers up. We had two concrete bunkers built into the back yard, I've never seen them built in anywhere else. Come to think of it, I've never seen a coal bunker anywhere except our garden and coal fires are quite common in my area.
Of oucrse, my clever friends on here are right, yes, the answer is coal or charcoal, which would look the same and even if the younger ones on here don't remember coal fires, I would like to think that they have enjoyed a fun BBQ at some stage in their lives :) Well done :cheer:

Wiki says:
The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east, to Lop Nur in the west, along an arc that roughly delineates the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. The most comprehensive archaeological survey, using advanced technologies, has recently concluded that the entire Great Wall, with all of its branches, stretches for 8,851.8 km (5,500.3 mi). This is made up of 6,259.6 km (3,889.5 mi) sections of actual wall, 359.7 km (223.5 mi) of trenches and 2,232.5 km (1,387.2 mi) of natural defensive barriers such as hills and river.
745 ft = 0.227076 km = 0.141 098 484 85 mile according to online coverter. Maybe this helps for you to imagine what 756 ft look like :)
WHAT is the longest in the world measuring 745 ft long? :hmm:
River

No, not river or theme park ride. It is located in Hong Kong, if that helps you :)

We used to have two bunkers at the back of our house in Glasgow. Best bit of the day was when Dad put the fire on! This has really brought back lovely memories.

We used to have coal bunkers in the back gardens when I was younger. We used to climb over the fence and steal the coal from the neighbours coal bunkers.

moonstorm
14-10-2010, 11:50
:lol::lol: I don't think I have laughed so hard for ages!! Thing is, why did we have to do it in our slippers, why on earth did we not put our shoes on!! I always thought there were ghosts waiting in the bunker and hated having to go out to get the last bucket of coal. No wonder I am like I am today, traumatised childhood, the children today don't know how lucky there are. And if any one is wondering, yes I will be apprearing on Grumpy Old Woman!! :lol::lol:
I was the same as both of you.. but we also had a coal shed which was at the top of our garden and I hated going out at night to get coal for the fire... I can still hear the sound of the shovel against stone when filling the fire bucket!
I was terrified that anyone or anything could be hiding in the coal shed.. especially rats, spiders or kids like you and Kath steal our coal :lol:
Chloe O'brien
14-10-2010, 11:56
We wore our slippers so the neighbours wouldn't hear us. We were pinching the coal by night and their rhubarb by day.
We wore our slippers so the neighbours wouldn't hear us. We were pinching the coal by night and their rhubarb by day.
So it was you!!! My parents were brought up in a farming community so when they came to the big smoke they grew all sorts of veg in our garden.. our front garden we grew potatoes and our back garden had carrots, lettuce, rhubarb... it didn't help that my maiden name was Browne (I am sure many of the older people will remember the crips with the name of farmer browne)
moonstorm

:cheer: Well done, Kath, you got it right :clap: Can't say I have ever done this nor would I dream of it :eek:
omg :/ thats the most silliest thing ever to steal i think. are loo rolls that really too expensive for everyone to buy?
I'm going to confess here... every time I go to public toilets and see toilet roll freely available, I take it. Being a student is difficult with finances and living with two guys, they never think to buy toilet roll. I don't see why I should have to buy it all the time. It's only been whilst I've lived with them, when I move out I'll be buying toilet roll again.
I was going to steal some toilet roll once, as I was on a holiday with my friends and we were going home the next day, so we thought buying a whole packet was pointless. Couldn't get it as it was padlocked in some container thing. I assume that it means stealing whole rolls, not just what seems like half of it when you have a cold. I'm sure many more people have done that plenty of times.
On another note - Would anyone like any toilet roll? :lol: I have like 7 rolls and I'm moving out soon, never going to use it all.
