What is the Real Difference between Paraffin and Petrol?
Dear Comrades,
This is my very last post on this forum so I thought I would leave you with this little conundrum which is:
What is the difference between petrol and paraffin?
There is no effin petrol.
With kind regards,
MAD

You know my thoughts.
You know my thoughts.
It has been said that I have one of those.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Reminds me of a Father Ted episode: Pat Mustard says to Mrs Doyle, holding a big adjustable spanner "Can I put my massive tool in your box"
Still makes me laugh

Have my old Granddad's diary from ww2, 1943.
In the back it's says pour paraffin in eyes if contaminated with mustard gas.

They were a tough breed in those days!
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

You are absolutely quite perfectly correct in your assertion of how resilient the English race was in those days now past. I was certainly intrigued concerning the post by flybobbie in which he informed us of his dear Grandfather's diary upon one page of which he advised that paraffin should be utilised to wash mustard gas from one's eyes. I think we should stop and think about this for a moment......
Further to the aforementioned, my mother's first husband was killed in the Battle Al Alamein in the northern desert of Africa; he remains there to this very day thus that there will always be a Piece of England there.
For my mother's part, she was left with two children, both boys. She brought them up throughout the war and yet the war widow's pension was wholly derisory to the extent that it would hardly feed one child let alone provide food and accommodation for the three of them.
I shall say no more, except to say, within this country we now reward indolence to the extent that,... well, feel free to add whatever you may wish.
With kind regards,
MAD
