Used both as a lamp oil (brighter flame, and no nasty odours/fumes compared to alternatives commonly in use at the time) and lubricant.

I'm parked up by the A1 and wearing a pair of stockings right now.

Supply of Tea as a luxury, :shock: I'm having my doubts that this was written by an Englishman :( well if he was English he must have been one of those coffee drinking whoopsys, no doubt the type of man who'd hangs about with Oscar Wilde. :shock: :lol:
