  3. Good to know.

    You can see those marines now...

    'Guys Guys!.....I really like this New Avon body oil srpay with
    cactus.....smells lovely!'

    'Nah mate....this Honeysuckle and Aloe Rub wins hands down!...mmm!'

    'You two haven't got a clue.......you should always use Boots own lemon
    and ginger after shower body oil with mint......always a winner...'

    erm saying that......keep it to yourselves but when I was in the army
    it wasn't rare to find soldiers in tights to keep warm!

    NO!......of course I never did!
    😉

  4. Been using it in England for some time as well.
    Trust the press, always out of touch with reality then blow a small story up
    into an "exclusive".

    First used in Australia I believe to stop their massive Aussie-mossies.
    Story is very old and has appeared on this very newsgroup many times.

    In which case you are obviously the sort of companion everyone else wants.
