Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    What a strange name to a thread.
    What if he took them out and washed them instead of airing them?

    Spill a pint of milk in the boot, after a few days you wont smell the kerosene. :D

    Take the carpets out and put fairy liquid on them and a little water.
    Scrub away til your knuckles are raw.
    Rinse and repeat until they are clean.
    Hang to dry and refit.
    They will probably still smell a little but if you wash the kero out then they won't smell as bad.
    Kero is a light oil thats why you need detergent to wash it out.

    Peel a dozen raw onions, and leave them in the boot for a few days.

    Couldn't hurt to sprinkle a load of bread soda around (sodium bicarbonate). It will absorb a lot of the odour. Vacuum and repeat.

    Not your ornery onager
