Whenever my mum did the washing she'd hang it up in the Aering cupboard to dry, next to the boiler.For a long time I thought it was a type of boiler cupboard named after its inventor, a Swede called Aering. I only twigged when I was nearly 21 and finally saw it written down.
In my defence, "airing cupboard" is a daft name for a hot dark enclosed space that gets no fresh air.
MORE AIRING CUPBOARD NOSTALGIA: the cat liked to sleep in there, and would sometimes scrabble at the door wanting to be let in. When the door was opened, he'd sniff at it for a few seconds, lose interest and wander off in a typically perverse cat-like way.

Trust me when I say Jesus in an airing cupboard is a poor second to Lionel Ritchie in a wardrobe.(

Once I went into the back of the airing cupboard, discovered a very small magic kingdom and had a wonderful time, almost wonderful enough to write a book about it.Then two days later, the illusion was shattered. Turned out it was just concussion.

I agree about the "no air" comment.Well done. Can you please explain it to my missus, because she thinks it's a magical drying cupboard, and it's more like a sauna at the moment.
