Man rescued after being lost in IKEA for 12 days – Luxembourg Wurst ARLON, Belgium — A disoriented shopper was rescued on Thursday after being lost for nearly two weeks in an IKEA store near the Luxembourg border.

Chestnuts roasting by an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose...

If that wee lad gets any closer to the fire, he'll be getting more than his chestnuts roasted!

We're down the Barras, in 1957, and it looks like a proper freezer of a day, with everyone except the wee fella overcoated and mufflered-up to the max.

The wee guy, caught playing cats cradle, couldn't care less about the cold. He's out in his shorts and sannies, with his socks around his ankles. Mind you, he must be getting a rare heat off the chestnut roaster's brazier.

Sadly, chestnut sellers are now a thing of the past. There used to be nothing nicer than juggling a hot, sweet chestnut in your freezing mitts, trying to pry off its charred and blistered leather jacket. The things tasted even better if the seller gave his wares a wee sprinkle of salt.

The last time I ate hot chestnuts in the street was on a winter visit to Paris, where traders still roam the boulevards with wee mobile charcoal burners. If you want to track one down, just follow your nose, and the trails of discarded chestnut shells...

* Briiliantly, LG follower Sandra Docherty has been in touch to say: "The man on the right is my granddad Alec Ferguson. He apparently loved hot chestnuts. My mum has this photograph framed on her wall."

** Even better. LG fan Paul Rogers has just ID the old guy on the left as his granda, John Ward, who lived in Germiston.
