There I was in my usual position (semi conscious) when in came a group of lads they sat at a table near me.
I got a strong smell, extremely sweet, and also stickily sour.
It took me back immediately to my junior school classroom of the late 50's, back then although there were antibiotics they weren't being used for 'ordinary' illnesses.
So if someone got an ear infection it didn't take long before everyone seemed to get one.
The cure? A piece of cotton wool to catch the puss with a dab of germoline on it.
The smell came back to my memory instantly and on observing the group of lads, I noticed one had a piece of cotton wool in his ear.
I wonder, considering how powerful and accurate our sense of smell is, what memories have come back to you?
Hopefully they will be better than the above.
