You can buy Skin So Soft direct from the Avon site and it's as cheap as chips. I've been buying it for at about 20 years so it's an old (and best-selling) product. Most definitely works as a mosquito and midge repellant and it's shipped in bulk to by the British Army serving all over the globe.

The best product is the dry skin oil, but personally I supplement this with the bath oil as I have dry skin. This two pronged attack works for me and I never get bitten. I don't think it works for everyone though. Here's a testemonial/discussion:

didn't know where this thread was heading but someone beat me to the wicked witch is dead.


I can fully wholeheartedly endorse SSS (Skin So Soft) as giggirl said, the BEST midge-repellent ever. I heard it was used by the military too but no idea whether thats true...Its sold extensively in the Scottish Highlands, don't buy any others..SSS is all you need.

    • Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
    • Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.
    • It looks like they have cut it down completely now 😭
    • Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
