G'day kat,Maybe you need to ask the questions of Tom Lewis - folksing now of (British Columbia?) ... ex RAN Diesel subs.
I heard him here in Australia (and he sings so loud, I think everyone else did as well! - must be something that comes of living in a tin can with a deisel motor).
He also told yarns about living with a lot of deisel fuel and no showers for weeks on end - then being presented on up-river night with TWO bowls of hot water to get body and sould free of weeks of permeated deisel fumes. Tom calimed that, with the aid of a large tim of Swafega and a box of Scotchbrite pads, you could get to look ... and almost smell ... human ... until you got a bit heated up with passion and the deisel rose to the surface!.
I don't have his email or or URL (and they are not on his 1995 CD Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, XSailorX Singer! either). I'm sure a serach would get him, but I can't do it myself, right now, as my internet connection timed out. I will reconnect, send this and fix the time AGAIN!!!!
Regard(les)s,
Bob Boltom
