Hi BEWICK
You are 100% right about ■■■■■■■ on your hands to harden them how do i know ,well years ago in the village i lived there was a old royal navy ,coal shoving stoker who was on the old warships ,and down in the stoke hold all the men each shift, would ■■■■ in a bucket for men to soak their hands in to harden them. unbelievers research it.
Apparently the urine causes your body to create additional collagen which hardens your skin!
I recall many moons ago whilst on a Sardinian holiday,I was stung by a large
Jellyfish,back on board the boat,the skipper had a bucket of ■■■■ that he soaked a rag in and applied to my back,taking the stinging effect right away after 10 minutes or so,well impressed was I !!!

It’s also brilliant for athletes foot. Just wee on your feet and leave it to work in a bit before you turn the shower on. Piece of ■■■■ really!
Another couple of instances where the use of ■■■■ was used the first one was ,I was told, that Squaddies ■■■■■■ in their boots to soften the very stiff leather so I’m surprised that some of TN members who did National Service haven’t mentioned it although Corporal C. Webb wouldn’t know as he was in the RAF and that service got the quality boots made from the finest supple leather on the market and were made by bespoke Boot and shoe manufacturers such as K Shoes in Kendal ! The second use was Agricultural and I have first hand knowledge of this which was if a cow had a swollen hock or knee one of the remedies was to ■■■■ on the joint at each milking time ! Cheers Bewick.

I’ll have to try that Dennis,my right knee is often playing up during my morning perambulation with Alfie our dog,not sure my Mrs would appreciate the wet trousers though!

Thought you’d still be wearing shorts in sunny Portugal, David.

I’m concerned about the milking.
Adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the taste of cornflakes.
Don’t worry Lads as the era I was talking about was when milking took place at floor level but now the milking is in sunken parlours at “eye level” so the old remedy I suggested is physically impossible nowadays Well maybe not for some of these big healthy country Lads ! Cheers Dennis.

About 30 odd years ago my wife and I were driving through the French countryside and we saw this old bloke, must have been about 80, peeing towards the scenery and we were most impressed by his high graceful arc.
Can’t wait for the end of next month when I get to be 80.
Hiya,
I remember an old guy getting thrown out out of his local for
standing at the bar and ■■■■■■■ on the flagged pub floor,so he
started wearing wellies so’s he filled them and the pee came
over the top, well he did get a two or three pints in before
he got chucked out and the pub landlady brought the mop
and bucket.

Edited for accuracy.
That’s just reminded me of the old squaddie joke, when a new recruit thought that he had caught a dose of ‘the crabs’. He asked the sergeant, “what would be the best way to get rid of them” and the sergeant advised him to rub some petrol into the infected area. "Will that get rid of them’, asked the young squaddie. It will when you set alight to the petrol replied the sergeant.
Remembering many days, sometimes in pouring rain and high winds, of the exhausting task of roping and sheeting a 40 footer, I only hope that this bloke’s journey is many, many hundreds of miles before he has to do it all again.
Well bearing in mind that as an organisation BRS was riddled with incompetence from top to bottom with the mind set that “we can’t be closed down as we are owned by the Government and kept afloat by the British Tax payer” so I would call that “excellent” S & R effort about par for the course at BRS ! I wonder what happened to the general haulage side of BRS ? Cheers Bewick.

Well apart from the fact that it is an awkward lumpy load, it looks to me as if he started at the back and ran out of sheet before dropping it over that, windowed, headboard. So yes, very bad. If the sheet isn’t long enough better be deficient at the rear not the front.

Shove a bit of cardboard in, that’ll do the job Buzzer
