Anyone remember the stink of creosoted wood ?
In the mid-1950's I attended a small private school. The caretaker creosoted the long boundary fences, and I grew to somewhat like the smell. Recently, one of my neighbours (an army chap who had access to the stuff) creosoted his side of the shared-ownership boundary fence between us. Because of the overlap, the stuff ran through to my side and it has been a god awful job finding a modern alternative to over-paint it to conceal the mess. In warm weather it still stinks, I like it a lot less now
