  • Perhaps approach Trading Standards or the H and S Executive for advice, but if you've hardly met him why not initiate an amicable and factual calm discussion.

    Perhaps he doesn't realise why he's getting the headaches.

    Ha ha. Nice one Joe .watch this space image

  • i've just had to buy creocote because my local shops stock of creosote has now run out .

    creosote has kept my fence posts and fence panels in good order for over 20 years .

    i am now having to start to use boiled car engine oil as an additive to the creator coat .

    it's typical you find something that works well and is removed .

    the smell lasted on the hold for 2 or 3 weeks .

    But did your wood good for at least 10 years .

    won't use that water based rubbish as your posts what's inside it .

    So you have to paint your fence a bit more often - much better than getting skin cancer IMHO image

  • It's simply the best for all outside wood treatments I swear by it . brilliant stuff .

  • I think he's trolling, jo47. We've got a troll at the bottom of our garden as well.

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • I've just been clearing out the garage and found a couple of those in a bag, Dove. I didn't think they went back as far as the 60s, but they're clearly survivors.

    Definitely the 60s Joe, I became a married person in 1970 and had been left school a couple of years - still far too young to choose a life partner but you know what young people are like - they know best imageimage
