It turns out the ever ingenous public house owners have found another use for WD-40, to stop toilet seats being used for snorting cocaine.
This adds to a rather longish repertoire of uses venerable coconut oil & kerosense concoction is used for already.
Simon Jeffory:
When telephoned, a spokeswoman for WD40 told Guardian Unlimited it did not recommend the use of the spray internally. But the company is otherwise keen to promote as a wide a use of its products as possible and the press release section of its website is a testament to ingenious PR. Even things that you never knew were problems – such as snow stuck to shovels or too-tight wheels on rolling ping pong tables – can be remedied with WD40, it claims.
It doesn't end there - most imaginative is the advice from "TV's Handy' Andy" on how the spray can pep up your love life. Before a night of romance unstick the dimmer switches, free-up the corkscrew and fix creaky bedsprings. Around the point I stopped reading it suggested WD40 can "ensure zips slide freely". Drugs and WD40, you can just about take it - but please, not sex.
Commenter 'HRH Prince Philip' was not impressed however:
Bloody hell, haven't you peasants anything better to do?
