Poster paint, that came in little glass jars. Modern paint from squeezy bottles just doesn't smell the same.

Am I the only one concerned that, as a school kid you knew what the inside of the groundsman shed smelled like

The shed was used for a number of purposes, one of which was as screen to hide behind with our Rizlas and Old Holborn. I am not prepared to go further without some expensive legal advice...

This mixed with car-sickness, is the smell of Bala, Betws-y-coed and static caravans.

Lavender Water. I had an old Aunt who announced her presence with that smell long before she entered the room.
Honeysuckle. My Grandmother's kitchen had it just outside the door and whenever I come across that smell I'm taken back to her kitchen.
On the bad side.
Tobacco smoke, everywhere. To all you smokers, thanks for the Asthma.
Unwashed bodies. Born in 1951, not everyone had a proper bathroom and so bathed rarely, once a week was the norm. Some people really needed to do it at least twice a week.

Sunday night was bath time in our house when i was a child. A wash in the sink with a flannel and soap was the normal daily routine.
The smell of polished wooden floors takes me back. They were polished every week in my primary school
