Hot water bottle to warm the bed. ...

I still use those sometimes in the winter.

My aunt, who lived in a drafty old mansion, used large brass bed warmers - You'd leap into bed on a freezing winter (with ice on the _inside_ of the windows occasionally) and stub your toe on one of the contraptions!

Hot water bottles are still widely used as are electric blankets. We only stopped using the former because we got the latter.

I am having bread and butter pudding for my tea. With a lot of custard.

Now you see B&B pud is essentially an egg custard so I would say that's overkill.

Cream or Icecream - or better still, a choc ice - for me. Sod this healthy eating I'm gonna make one this weekend!

B&B pudding has a very small egg component if you do it right.

You can still get leaded petrol in our village. It's a garage specialising in sale, service and repair of extremely pricy vintage cars. I guess those who drive these things must keep a list of such places.
