I love the smell of chip shops.
My Nana kept an onion in a saucer of honey on the stove in the winter. It was used in small doses to sooth a sore throat.
Toothpaste rubbed into a waterstain lifts it out of wood furniture. Use a soft cloth to avoid scratching.
Vick's on a zit brings it to a head quickly so it looks twice as disgusting.
Oil lamps clean up with newspaper too. The ink absorbs the greasy stuff.
