I didn't get what you meant until Bobby questioned it too
And I was referring to the fact that I've already answered this question recently.

Either to be honest. I'm not really the addictive type
Alt Q: The sea. My mum's extended family all lived near Margate (I know, kill me now) and then I went to senior school just outside Margate. Actually the taste of oysters remind me exactly of searching rock pools as a kid.

I actually quite like margate.
I've only been there for about an hour though.

It used to be fun - tacky but fun
Now it's just sad. Everywhere has closed down and gone to a big out of town shopping centre. The only people who live there now are those who can't afford to go elsewhere. Apparently it's one of the most deprived towns in the UK - despite being in the 'rich' Southeast. The funfair was burnt down too.

Yeah I had a pack of matches when I went there for an hour.

Mine is the sea
and wet sails and rope mainly. I did a lot of sailing as young boy. We have a house in Ireland and I still sail when I can.

Does the smell of servants and inherited titles also remind you of childhood?

It's really good fun
And can be a good work out if the wind gets up. Plus you're dicking about in water which is always fun. Plus you and Wiggy can do it together.

I think you'll find that we are going to sail to the Caribbean on a yacht called the Smug Croissant

Since I recently deactivated my Facebook account
and I'm still on here, I guess that's the main question answered.

There's a shrub thing that flowers in spring that reminds me strongly of being a kid. Dark green leaves, bright pink flowers. It's the smell of the flowers that does it.

Does it grow on stone walls?

No, it's a floor-stander
I've seen them on their own and in hedges. Fucked if I can remember the name, though, and you try putting "shrub" into Google.

However, the smell of stale cigarette smoke and wet worsted always reminds me of being on the bus when I was a nipper.

That's an interesting alt. question
Battenburg cake/marzipan (used to love it), pipe smoke (my old latin teacher), sea air (holidays and just loving the sea in general), wet neoprene (windsurfing), hot asphalt (skateboarding), lavender (a crush gave me a sprig on a beautiful day when I was 14), meat roasting in the oven (every Sunday), Chanel Allure (another crush), Marlboro Reds/Chesterfields (first cigarettes), red wine (drank at mealtimes from very young), new magazines (Amiga Format, Melody Maker and Snowboard UK), an overheating Amiga 500 (Kickoff), Madelaine cakes (French exchanges, yes I know they were Proust's thing, never could read him though), unsealed ink cartridges (English essays), vinyl (saving up £15 to buy early Factory records stuff without owning a record player)

That was rather cathartic.
