I find it a bit smelly, compared to the subtle odour of WD40 (fish oil) :-D

I often found a drop of diesel to work as well as WD40. I have not tried it instead of Vaseline.

Perhaps the RR'r has never heard of WD40, or they may even be employed by the company that produces the product :-D

Apparently WD40 is okay, though :-D :-D :-S

Many more uses than Vaseline ;-)

I was on a bus once, with 3-year old son, when a very pregnant woman got on.

Son asked, in a loud voice, why the lady was so fat. I explained that she had a baby in her tummy.

I was then tapped on the shoulder by the woman in the seat behind and informed in no uncertain terms that I shouldn't say such things, as he was far too young to understand. :-| :-| :-|

It's just as well son was with me, as otherwise I might have told her what I thought!!

I worked in a factory with a Lithuanian woman called Regina, properly pronounced to rhyme with Georgina, and ,boy, did she have a tale to tell if you took the trouble to listen to her!

Anyway, Betty, who ran the line because she was no use at all working on it, insisted on calling this woman Vagina.

Ah ha, I see you are all referring to 'THE DOWNSTAIRS FURNITURE' as I call it when in company ;-)

Seriously though I agree it is better to teach children the correct names. :-)
