Your silver tongue has worked its magic again. I just filled in the form on line; and I am pleased to see that, as an OAP, I get cheap membership. ;D You won't regret it, it really is a great society to be a part of! ;D There's a substantial article coming out in Magazine 106 (June) which may be of interest, perhaps... ;) I look forward to it with keen anticipation... I wonder what it can be about. ??? |

I look forward to it with keen anticipation... I wonder what it can be about. ??? Probably nothing of any great import... ;D ...still, it'll be handy if the Izal runs out (remember that? My grandma swore by it, whilst we swore at it): the paper used for the magazine is probably about the same impenetrable consistency. Ouch!  :o :o :o |

When I started my career in the civil service the facilities were provided with Izal, oft referred to as "Government forms (blank)". Every year at the conference of the Civil and Public Servants' Association (the then civil servants' union) there was a motion (appropriately enough) that soft lavatory paper be provided instead. It took years for this to be agreed by management. I'm sure many elderly retired civil servants (such as myself) are still suffering the after-effects of having had to use this wretched stuff! Lordy, lordy, another thread derailment! :-[ |

Ouch! :o :o :o My grandfather (my mother's father) used to swear by Izal (and no wonder! :o ;D) and they always had it in the loo when I visited! I can remember kids using it to write on at school. It could also be used as tracing paper,I seem to remember?! |

Oh yes, I'd forgotten that. ;D It was much better for use as tracing paper than for, er... the purpose for which it was actually devised! |

Can't say that I hold out much hope...  Why didn't they just make tracing paper instead?!!
...excellent work! ;D |

Fear not, blame will find its proper resting place and the Furies will descend. Oh, perhaps not - it looks as though they've taken advantage of the lifting of lockdown restrictions and nipped out to the local Wetherspoons for a pint and some pork-scratchings...  ::) |

Or some dry-roasted nuts! :-* |
