    Ah, I get it, the good Olde days and nostalgia (usually cockeyed due to brain fade). I thought it was supposed to be a clinical comparison not an old versus new theme.

    You guys in Oz love your sheep and their products don't you? I have used an Oz made lanolin spray for rustproofing, lubricating etc. Excellent stuff.
