      God that brings me back.
      We have the aul blow heating but it only went into two of the bedrooms, not mine.
      During the winter my mam would open my door and leave it there to heat up my room while I would fall asleep.

      Legoland in Ballyfermot was horrible during the winter. Rotted single wooden window. These kept me warm

    3. Ah the headache creating foot burning not actually heating the room wonder box. I remember them well from my childhood.

      You had to crack a window well open, otherwise the headaches became unbearable. If you’re an inch too close, it’s too hot. An inch too far away, you’re freezing.

      I remember the entire family huddled around one of those many nights at a time. I remember asking why we couldn’t buy a second spread the load and the withering look I got from my parents … tis a very different Ireland today for most people.

    5. I’ve memory of mam leaving a bowl of water in front one of these yokes growing up. What was the deal with that?

      You need to lean *right* into it to get warm, till the heat on your face starts cracking your lips.

      Then when you’re too hot and can’t stand it any more, lean back in your chair.

      Then you’re cold again : so you lean forward. Repeat until bedtime.

      Posts like this remind me that the sub is now full of boomers. The Boards migration was a catastrophe.
