The French love food and see the use of food based oils being used in a vehicle as a total abomination, anyone caught using veg oil will be horse whipped, then tar and feathered.....if your lucky

Old ladies will curse and spit at you and young children are encouraged to kick your shins.

Be warned

Hi ,Sorry mate havent had chance to to get on as I have been in the garden all week as it has got well and truly over grown while i was away. I think your question has been well answered by now. Gasoil (Derv) Is 1.295 at our E,leclerc at the moment the best you could get veg oil for is about 10€ for 10ltr at the cash and carry but it cost you 10€ in fuel to get there as its a hour trip there and back so not viable.
I change my euros at thomas cook if I am in the UK there rate is some times better than the post office. John

What about the plaz I have some Jewson you can have but if you want cementone then just say. Rick

Hi Rick, any plaz is fine,you just cant get it here, you have to use water proofer
or washing up liquid! Cheers, If you pm me your phone number I will give you a ring if ther is any thing you want to know, John

I remember back in the day, washing liquid was used on most sites in the muck mix.
I wonder who found out, that using WL, would make the muck nicer to use

Yeah, very true Rick, mind you, washing up liquid is full of salt.
