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

As did Shippam's in Chichester.

I worked there occasionally in the early seventies and used to sit in the park near East Street eating my lunch - the stench was awful.

Only two things have an odour akin to Shippam's Anchovy Paste, and one of those is Shippam's Anchovy Paste.

My parents moved to Sompting ( South of A27 ) in the mid 80s, some days they could smell Beechams in their garden.

I like a pint of Harvey's but I can't stand the smell when they are brewing in Lewes.

Bad smells? How many of you remember swimming in the gents urinals at the back of the North stand at the Goldstone? Creosote would be like spring flowers after that

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.

Indeed, I believe it is illegal now although I have a couple of litres stashed away. however, It's probably not as bad as the stuff pumped out from diesel cars and vans these days.
 








Your mind can play tricks
Makes you what you want to be
Just like superheroes
You saw them on tv

Coast to coast, wall to wall
Got to go, duty calls
Here i am
Superman, lois lane
Saved the world, back again
Here i am

In my old, red saloon
I'm a knight in shining armour
If i were asleep, man
I couldn't be much calmer

Hit the road, on the run
Faster than anyone
Here i am
One for all, all for one
Shake the fist, shoot the gun
Here i am

What do you say?
Are we shooting at windmills like you?

Common sense, is as good
As a cafe' on the moon
When man and machinery come to their high noon

Beat the clock, punch the wall
Fix'd in no time at all
Here i am
Radio on the blink
Kick the cat, hit the drink
Here i am

Don Creocote
What do you say?
Are we proud, are be brave
Or just crazy?

The pong from Lady A power station in the 60's was pretty awful.
We called it 'Portslade Perfume' as children.

I remember an old family member who used to cover his fence with a creosote & old bike engine oil mix.
Lovely smell, especially in the summer, no too pungent.
