@bade302b I think, although its a ridiculously old memory , we had a range when we first moved into my parents house when I was 3 , I remember that the kitchen was totally gutted & my Dad rebuilt it . We gotta yellow gas 2 oven thing after that.
@678e31cf We got a gas stove eventually, when I was at Primary school. My memory of that isn't pleasant because I came home from school and there was the lovely new stove and in praise I said "Oh thank you!". And my mother said grumpily, "I didn't buy it for you."
@bade302b Well that was a bit mean.
My Mum hated me because I was a ‘fire bobbie’ as a child & loved lighting mini fires on her new stove made out of spent matches 🤦♂️
That maybe why I use a mini blow torch to grill cheese these days 😂
@678e31cf OOOH you arsonist!!! But I bet it was fun.
@bade302b My Dad drew the line when I tried to smoke out a wasps nest in the top of the old outhouse roof - & set fire to said roof !
I managed to put it out, but he was less than pleased to say the least, i think words like borstal were mentioned ! 🙄🤦♂️
