hi pomogolian, hope you,re well ?we had parrafin stoves here there and everywhere we had one in the outside lavvy under the sump of the car and even road lamps to act as parking lights, on the car to save in the battery.
mind you we had the trusty starting handle then, a peg on the choke because it would,nt stay out, i think if i remember right we got our parrafin from across the road from us, and i do remember going to the garage at saltley on the edge of the vioduct.
i,m sure there are lots of us that remember a story like mine? happy days best wishes dereklcg.
