So who remembers TCP, well up until tonight I had forgotten all about it. I had no idea it was still possible to buy it. It must be 20 plus years since I last saw it.
So I am at work, just about to change a main wheel on a 737 when this "smell" comes across the apron. At first I thought that a farmer was spraying the fields with a fertilizer, but a check of my watch showed that it was 01:00 in a dark and rather chilly morning. Further investigation showed that all the baggage trucks had been stopped and a small crowd of handlers where milling about and not doing much. Next the fire service goes by, blue lights and lots of diesel smoke. Well there was no smoke or fire, just this smell. As I was still alive and breathing and my eyes did not burn and none of the baggage handlers had collapsed to the floor clutch their throats, I carried on with my wheel change. Just about to pull the wheel of the axel when one of the fire crew comes running over.
"You the Englander"
"Yes"
The next question sort of took me back.
"You can read a little English, yes"?

Two jars of Marmite.... where's the toast?
I found a bottle of TCP when we were moving... it'd gone out of date in 1999

I think you inhaled a little too much of it mate.
You've double posted the same thing, in the same post

Lol I haven't had it for some 10 years either. My Dad used to keep it....  :-/

You work on jets? Awsome!

That depends, if it is 03:00 in the am, rain or snow comming down sideways, colder than a frogs private parts and 180 PAX waiting to fly to a warmer climate, I sometimes forget just how awsome it can be.  ;D
