Anti-foul
Bought five litres today,
Optimum Extra, Colour is Dover White,
Fifty quid for a five litre can from a used boat bits shop
in Penryn, Paint is new though!
Is this a bargain or is there a catch?

I would never buy used antifouling.
New enviro regs have made the stuff very expensive indeed. whether thats a sales trick i dont know, but 80 euro's/5 litre is not a bad deal nowadays. (here, NL)
Dover white you said ????? For that money here on the continent at least we get some colour for our euros.

Dover white is the colour of the water round there and not the cliffs

Now, son, you don't want to drink beer. That's for daddies and kids with fake IDs.

Used antifouling - now theres a marketing opportunity - I can cough up about 20 litres a season!

On another note the kind lady at Boots asked if the tablets she was giving me (for my missus) were new.

WHen I suggested that I wasnt in the market for secondhand drugs, she had to retreat with tears streaming down her face. She returned after a few moments, composure reinstated saying that it was most unusual for people to bring a sense of humour to the pharmacy - most left it outside!
