What products that your family regularly bought growing up would you never buy today?

You can still buy it but it is not legally available to DIYers. From memory, containers have to be no smaller than 25L and you are not legally allowed to use it on any wood that a child might come in to contact with.

I too love the smell, but only from a distance. I once painted about 60m of 6ft fencing with it on a hot day and felt awful the next day.

I once got just a tiny drop of that just below my eye and it all swelt up! I was lucky it did not effect my eye.
People like BT still use it on telephone poles. It was banned to the public as you say some years back.

I used to like them, and usually had a couple at the back of a cupboard for emergencies.

I tried some more recently and found them awful. Greasy pastry, not bad gravy, but next to no meat content.

I happened to have a few old empty tins in the garage for cleaning small parts, turned them over, and checked the ingredients list. The meat content has been drastically reduced. On investigation it happened after the brand name was sold to Baxters. You will find heaps of customer complaints online.

The same brand name is licenced in Australia to a local firm, and they make a very good, meaty pie.

I have no interest in football, but used to read it at school.

Yeah, but only because you lived in the middle of no where.. I am so grateful that I live in a city where people with permanent sun tans had shops that would sell me, for example, cigarettes at 2 AM
