I can still see my mum even now testing the temperature of the flat iron. My mum heated the irons either on the stove or if there was a fire in the range then on there. I still have one of these irons.

I remember getting one of these for Christmas in 1954. I thought there was something special about the brand Tri-Ang it was pure magic

I had a variant on knock down ginger. I grew up on a very narrow street (Riddell). I would take Mom's clothesline and tie it to a neighbor's door knocker and then string it across the road to the house opposite and tie it to their knocker. Then knock and both and run like hell. Neither neighbor could get there door open!! Everyone was mad as hell at me including Mom who lost a couple of clotheslines like this.
