This stuff is or was a popular poison in days gone by and saw off many a spouse or ex!! You need to know a chemist/pharmacist who can vouch for your good character.

For measuring areas behind curves (do not think Jordon) look up Simsons Rule on the internet. Massive formula if you can be bothered and many pleasant hour was wasted by me as a pupil surveyor working these things out. The office calculator (mechanical) had no memory so we made jottings all over the...

Right then that seems like a reasonable thumbs up. Pencil sharpened and put in hand. I will make enquiries about campsite too. I guess you do not want a massed plot next to wc's and water tap! And Alan, I know we have a marvelous micro climate @ B'sea but even our Commodore can't whistle up exactly ...
