Railway sleepers that have been treated with creosote 'tar stuff' will
weep creosote on hot weather and it is very messy, also anything treated
with creosote, and creosote itself is off limits on June 30th when its
sale is banned (EU law).

Oh.....B-(

Better to buy the non treated ones that are brought in from the
continent, or new ones.

Half the point of using old ones is a part of recycling...
There is little point in buying a new one!!!

Incidentally for those who like the smell of creosote

I do!

Wickes have brought out a creosote substitute which even smells like the
original.

Freaky!
Someone actually sat down and worked out the composition of the SMELL of
creosote!
Some poeple are just too bored!
