Another update from the Missus
She also informed me that the old man/ old motor oil/ stale booze smell has a strong component of creosote in it. I had to look that up
cre·o·sote
1. A colorless to yellowish oily liquid containing phenols and creosols, obtained by the destructive distillation of wood tar, especially from the wood of a beech, and formerly used as an expectorant in treating chronic bronchitis.
2. A yellowish to greenish-brown oily liquid containing phenols and creosols, obtained from coal tar and used as a wood preservative and disinfectant. It can cause severe neurological disturbances if inhaled in strong concentrations.
I married Al Borland.

Haven't you ever read Sherlock Holmes? Apparently everything in London smelled of creosote.

by the way, who's Al Borland?

The fat guy from "Home Improvement". Though don't take that as an endorsement of the show. That show was annoying.
