Originally posted by Vico2 View PostWe had a huge mangle with big wooden rollers. It had originally been my grandmother's. It seemed huge to me as a child. It was made of iron with a sort of archway and knob thing at the top. There was a tray each side of the roller, one for putting the clothes going in and the other to catch the clothes after they were rolled. My mother had a big fire screen it went around the fireplace from one side to the other. It was sort of a safety item for children. She used to iron the clothes and put them on the fire screen in front of the fire when the weather was wet.
Did any body ever attach a fork to the end of a piece of wood so as not to burn your fingers when toasting the bread on the fire.
My father did.

Nothing worse than when a kid gets hurt. We have all kinds of recriminations.
I remember when my daughter was 3 I opened a door onto her foot & broke her big toe & tore the nail off.
Still feel guilty & that was over 50 years ago.
