news I came across a shed today, 8x6m, brick built, with a slate roof, and a
chimney! Not a boiler or wood burning stove type thing, but a
traditional
brick chimney. Any idea as to why someone would do that? It was
seperate
from the house, by a distance of about 8m.

Oh to be young....tee hee

I'm 43 you know! (Shakes walking stick)


Oh well you won't remember, like I do my mother boiling up in the washouse
to the rear of the tenement flat we lived in to do the weekly wash
......And I demolished hundreds of dangerous ones over the years before I
retired ........sand lime mortar ...they just fell down on their own not
much help required......


the good old days.....no washing machine....no 'fridge......town gas mantle
in the scullery ....stairhead cludgies ..........


you're nearly describing how i live
