    But it’s not that lovely pink stuff anymore is it. You can’t buy it now. They ve changed to ingredients and it’s now white and not as good in my opinion. I used to swear by the pink stuff and used it on most things lol. I still have a bit left in a tube though.:o

    My last one came in a little tin, a teeny bit bigger than the vaseline tins, I reckon it must have been vintage!

    I bought a pain cream in Florida called Icy Hot. It smells EXACTLY like how germoline used to smell :D

    It’s blinking expensive to get here though so all I’m allowed to do is sniff it to get my fix :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I swear we used to feel better just with the smell of germolene. :)

    Amazing how prices vary between countries, I read a travel article which said some tourists buy paracetamol here because it's so expensive in their home country.

    Yes they do - go to ' the 'Help' link. You'll then get six icons asking what you want help with 'Your Orders' 'Returns and Refunds' etc and a section that says 'browse help topics' I choose the topic I want help with and eventually (after choosing the order you want to query) you get three options to contact Amazon via Email, Phone or Chat.
    Thank you. Got to chat in the end but got no joy from them. Have emailed now. *sigh*

    That would be a "muff". Yes, had one as a child!

    Can anyone help with information on parking at the Ricoh?
    We parked on a match day, stayed over 2 hours, you have to submit receipts to avoid the £100 fine!
    Does this work please or am I going to have problems, it seems underhanded and complicated.

    PM'd you x

    That is it....a muff :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I thought it was a rude word.... but could not think of anything other than a V*g***!

    Every September we would get new uniform, winter clothes, coat, hat and muff!
