"methyated spirits"....any idea what this traslates to over here?

Well, at last, my favourite subject....
It's that vaguely purple stuff that, if you drink it to excess, turns your
eyes so multi-coated that you can't see through them any more. Used to be
the staple tipple of the winos in Edinburgh, until Bel-Air hairspray was
released.
Actually, I was going to post on the inflammable liquids thread, because I
once met a guy (aeromodeller) who looked as if he had been a fighter pilot
during the famous WW2 (read all about it, Acer!), but was twenty years too
young. He had been doing something with a model wing when something (related
to smoking, I believe) caused his solvents to ignite. Unfortunately, he had
been using a plastic magnifier to do his detail work, ending up with
'Fighter Pilot's Eyes'. Not pretty.
Be careful out there.
Donald.
