I love places like that. Have any of the Wigan contingent on here ever been to Th'Owd Barn up Burscough way? That's got lots of curiosities in it as well, but I'd like to see more of the way people lived. Anybody got a photo of an old Yorkshire Range? :)

Life was certainly a lot hard in those times. I'm probably one of the few people who tell a microwave to hurry up! :D
Yeh but lets not forget all those contraptions were invented to make life easier. They must have thought they'd died and gone to heaven.. :clap: Halleluyah for the easy life !!!

Thats true enough. It reminded me of when I was a kid, and one of the treats was putting a bit of bread on a toasting fork, and toasting it in front of a coal fire. :thumbs:

It gave it a bit more taste when it fell off the fork and you had to brush the coal off :lol:
