It mainly marketed as Tylenol or if you want the cheaper generic look for acetaminophen.
But that acetaminophen crap isn't nothing like proper British paracetamol.

Thanks Steve! I've never seen it as cheap as the 20p boxes you get in the UK though..... but I'll definitely have a look!

Do we need to inform inland revenue, do a tax return. What about keeping bank accounts here does that have any implications? Im just thinking and the list seems endless, any ideas?
If you were like me and changed car insurance companies each year try and get copies of your old car insurance documents. The no claims bonus letter is useless. You need to prove you have been insured before and between what dates. ie Each document needs a start and finish date.
Good luck.

Put as much thick bleach in your containner as you can get in. All you get here is the watery stuff.

If you are coming to Ontario I will buy some off you.

Why do you think "thick bleach" is desirable? I'd never heard the term, but a quick google confirms it's just regular bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and some inactivate thickener. It appears to be made in Banbury but I don't suppose that's relevant.

You need thick bleach around your bowl. It runs slowly down the bowl, cleans and kills 99% of all know germs.

Whatever happened to a brush and a bit of elbow grease.
