:eek: Ooh no, I couldn't be doing with that - if that smell was at the bottom of my garden, I'd have to move house. That's how much I love the smell of onions. Agree about modern crisps being crap though. They probably don't use lard any more :(Quote:

That's the thing though, "old 2-stroke smell". Modern two stroke oil smells horrible, as of course does the modern petrol it's used with (and I use the word petrol loosely, 'cos it ain't).Quote:

without the lead, its not the same..;) interesting that lead managed to get accepted as an additive as it was known from roman times to be dangerous... i guess the blame lies in the environmental Kuznets curve.Quote:

Chalk and disinfectant. Then it would smell like rain on warm concrete. Some days there was no smell at all. I've never been able to account for this.

As you are now working from home, and are likely to be doing so for the forseeable future, has your company placed any requirements on you as regards 'working conditions'? I ask as I have heard some companies are stipulating the same working conditions as would be in place in the office, be applied to working at home. In particular that when at your home desk computer you are not allowed to smoke. What's that all about? Surely it's a case of "my home, my rules". Knowing you to be a smoker what are your thoughts on the matter?
It's never been mentioned. But obviously I would ignore any such restrictions, aside from the fact that they would be un-enforceable, both legally and practically.Quote:

Wgat is it with some folk and bog roll? I mean, emptying a store in minutes and going out with 100 rolls or more. It's Moronic.
