Creocote!!!

[Conelli98]

The stench of this tossing stuff has completely ruined my Sunday Bacon Sarnie! My dad used to use it on his fences and sheds when I was a lad and it's the worst smell ever! My neighbour will be getting some verbals later but for now I've had to leave the house and find a cafe! What are your worse memorable smells NSCers?

If it smells as bad as creosote, you have my sympathy.

 

[jevs]

Love the smell of creosote.

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.

Creosote is OK not sure about creocote though.

Worst smell was probably at the top of Mount Teide on the island of Tenerife. Took a cable car up there and walked the last 300 or so feet but the smell of sulphur was overwhelming.

Believe you cannot get creosote in the UK now, except for agricultural purposes (too inflammable), but creoCote smells just as bad but is half as good. Go find a friendly farmer I say.

my neighbours BBQs smell pretty weird. The smell of gloss paint gives me a headache. When I worked at a printers the manager's aftershave made me sneeze ... awkward

Top, top artist.

Friendly and farmer? those two words don't go well together in my experience. Get off my land, is the friendliest thing my local farmer has ever yelled at me, when I take the public footpath through his fields.

Didn't think creosote was available to the general public anymore because of its environmental impact.

Shame though. Much better for preserving a fence than the Ronseal/Cuprinol stuff that's supposed to last five years but needs redoing after eighteen months. And there's never the karate kid around when you need him.

Think I'm right in saying that from the early 2000's it has been illegal to sell creosote to the general public and it is illegal for general public to use it. It's ok for professionals to use creosote based products but I think it may only be sold under license.

Beechams used to stink Worthing out in the 60's...

 

[Razmertaz]

I love the smell of lip balm in the morning, especially on my winkee.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

This stuff, you want to drink it not shower with it, suitable for vegans as well.

True, creocote is the current substitute

BT soak their poles in Creosote, I'm ex BT so I used to smell of it if I spent the day hanging off the top of poles, fortunately I love the smell.
As for bad smells it's all poo related for me, the smell of dogs shit is disgusting and walking into the gents toilet in a Greek hot and humid bar after midnight with a full bin and an unflushed Khazi takes some beating.

Creocote - is he the new left back the club are after?

I thought it was no longer available as it classed as a carcinogenic.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Can't beat a bottle of Creocote, served chilled - great with fish and white meat.
