There was a fellow on a Sunday night who always started his sports report with "My game today was at Dalymount Park where I saw....."! Who was he?

The sound of coal popping in my great-grandparent's fireplaces. The sound of anyone playing the piano. We had a pressure cooker too, and I well remember the sound of it. The sound of Farfel (I think) singing the jingle for chocolate drink....."N-E-S-T-L-E-S.....Nestle's make the very best - choc.......lat!

You mean you missed those essential formative experiences of the needle getting stuck and having to wipe off the bits of fluff? Not to mention one of those precious 78s snapping in half and severe parental displeasure.... Lorks, you never had a gramophone?

My mother was a fan of the pressure cooker too but it scared the bejeezus out of me I was always afraid the lid would blow. I'm more a 'smell' person (not smelly) but morning birdsong here is loud enough to be an alarm. I love the sound of the see at night when everything else is quiet, summer storms and warm rain but these days, it's the sound of my children arriving safely home, noisily kicking off their shoes and not so quietly giggling and going to the fridge for a late night snack. I know then I can settle for the night knowing they're safe and sound. Lovely story GrannyMar, I remember my grandma using one of those huge china bowls with a beige glaze.
