Keeping thread up because it's important to help with keeping this site going. Without your help I'm not sure how long it will be able to continue and if I haven't got Tony Terry and John to boss around it all falls the shoulders of him...

Lucky you, to have that level of access! Here in the States, it all has to be imported, and now we're paying a fairly high tariff in addition to the base price and shipping cost.

I recall Clegg commenting in passing on the lino smell. It's just linseed oil, which helps to keep the sheet flexible so that it can be stored rolled without cracking, then unrolled and laid flat. It evaporates fairly quickly, so the...

We have a place that used to be called Able Jack's but the name changed years ago but we still call it that, they sell lino of all thicknesses you can by off cuts very cheaply, ever couple of years we buy an off cut for the outside toilet.

Probably never went broody over one in his entire life!

I'm going to give Roy Clarke the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't seem like the kind of man that knows much about puddings

Lino is still on the market, but only in industrial quality. That means it's thick and very hard-wearing - think battleship linoleum. My local floor covering shop sells it, but I had a bit of a struggle persuading them to order it for...
