They seem to be hardwired into our memories. The other day I bent over the disgusting jar of ciggie butts outside our front door and emptied it into the rubbish bag. The fug of stale cig smell reminded me of my Dad, immediately. It's a vile smell but it was a lovely memory.

I never understand how people want advice on how to get the smell of garlic off their fingers after handling it.
