I'd forgotten the office where I regularly smelt gas and complained we had a "toast ghost", when I swore I could smell toast cooking.

In our house it was bacon. My mum would even go downstairs and check out the frying pan to make sure no one was cooking bacon at 2.00 am. Then because as you all know the smell of bacon is one of the great cooking smells, she would start frying bacon which then we would all smell. Many is the night that we would all be in the kitchen at 3.00 eating toasted bacon sarnnies wish lashings of butter. In the end she used to make a bacon sarnnie bbefore she went to bed and when she woke up with the smell would eat that instead. Not so good for the rest of us!

As an aside this didn't happen every night and we had a bit of family folklore that whenever mum could smell the phantom bacon cooker we were due some good luck. As another aside I once had to visit a meat plant and after that visit I just couldn't eat meat for years. Then one night I was driving over Chelsea bridge in London abd they used to have a bacon buttie stall where taxi drivers would get a snack. The smell of bacon wafted through the open car windows and it was if the car had a life of it's own and the next thing I knew I was beside the stall enjoying a large bacon buttie with sweet tea (I never have sugar in tea) and it was amazing. Final, final aside; I once went to an Al Murray gig where he talked about the restoritive powers of bacon. He said that the Jews could not be God's chosen people because he didn't allow them bacon! Anyone else feeling like a snack about now?
