I think I'll stick to using Cherry Blossom shoe polish. :-(

Sandy -but all those cherry blossoms...think of the suffering ;-)

[sandyRoe]

And these poor birds having their lives so cruelly curtailed so that people can have glossy footwear, shameful!

I fear I'll have to take to my bed after that trip back to the 20th century.

I use Mars Oil so wheres that from then

[sandyRoe]

Is it a by-product in the production of Mars Bars?
This thread got me thinking of saddle soap. Bleugh... A saddle might spend its life on top of a sweaty horse and under some corpulent Master of fox hounds. When its useful life is done its taken and made into soap.
