    I accidentally bought a knockoff one in a pound shop. It smelt awful and made my skin itch. I only buy hardware in pound shops now!

    My dad used to swear by that pink one that came in a big block. Vile smell. A great believer in TCP ( Tom Cat's Pxss) to those who didn't rate it!

    Thinking of vile smell/ taste. Potter's Catarrh Pastilles , another case of the cure worse than the disease.

    it’s wonderful ... such a shame the daughter in law who worked for a company who sold it is now an ex DIL ... we had a wonderful Christmas present a few years ago ... just two more left ☹️

    Pears, Wright's Coal Tar, Lifebuoy and the irritating Imperial Leather with the piece of paper stuck to it.....smell and memory eh?

    A lot of soaps make me itch cannot use Pears, gives me a rash, only really Dove and Imperial Leather that I can use. Imperial Leather being far more superior in my mind (no doubt a mind addled somewhat by advertising in '70s  :D)
