If you watch Shaka Zulu, keep a look out for the mention of Rowland's Macassar Oil and the bottles in which it was sold - don't think they were the right bottles !
Nope - our news tends to be pretty selective too! Melissa & Cows, I'm going to try to keep this thread from getting too political; we are having far too bad a time of it to let something like that spoil bottles [:-] !
I think every country does that. I remember, as a 16 year old, getting ready to move back to the States after being in England for 5 years. (early 70's)
I thought I was returning to a wasteland where all the forests had been cut down, the rivers ran with burning oil, and someone was standing on every corner ready to rob and shoot you. To my surprise everyone was friendly, no one tried to rob us or kill us, and within 30 minutes of the airport we were driving in forests and farm fields. Made an impact on me and I never really trusted what I was hearing on the the news again.
