Nice afternoon so broke out the outdoor furniture.
Table was a s*it brown colour and left by the previous owner of the house. Bit of research suggests it's part of a cheap Argos set. It had gone very rusty and the plastic had cracked. Chairs (I have 2 but only put one out) came from my parents, they came in a set of 4 with a table but the table had rotted away. Kept the best 2 chairs and painted all three items with a tin of Hammerite over winter. Glad I can finally make some use of them.

Oh how dare I say Hammerite? I'd better be sure and not say Hammerite again. Can't upset people by using Hammerite paint when other better alternatives are available.Oh oh you should not have said that
I'm considering adding that word to the censor.
I remember using said product in the 70's. It was choccafull of dangerous chemicals, but it actually worked.
Then they took all the dangerous stuff out, and it lost the plot.

You could say the same for lots of products. My mum swears by Jeyes Fluid for cleaning things outside but it's not the same as it used to be. Got to protect everyone from harm because they are to stupid to do it for themselves.
That's so very true.
Like nitromors, that was another one, that use to be lethal, you could almost brush your teeth with it now, don't try that at home please
And fence stain / protector that now appears to wash off every winter 
Depends on if you mix it with burnt engine oil.And fence stain / protector that now appears to wash off every winter
I didn't say that, by the way.
No you are right .. you did not say it .. but you did write it .....
It was the voices made me do it.No you are right .. you did not say it .. but you did write it .....
We used to mix engine oil with creosote for fence posts. They lasted years ..much better than the modern tantalised stuff.
My dad did that, the creosote, oil diesel mix ploy, me and my sister were I don't know 5 and 7, very early 70s and in his "I'm going to get the garden done in the day" mode, fence aswell had the big bonfire lined up for us to have frankfurters in a soggy roll at the end of the day, you know where this is going, fire brigade, very pissed off neighbours, my mother screaming us with singed hair, couldn't get the dog in the house for days, silly sod he was
Ah and funnily enough I have an oil change to do ……
