I would like to point out that its not "unscrupulous farmers" that use red diesel in their vehicles, more hauliers and people who work for hauliers and such companies are caught by trading standards than those connected with the farming industry. Completely "off topic" I know but feel that farmers have enough to contend with with thei government and the EU that they don't need any further insult in injury!! Farmers Daughter

I do seem to remember, that Esso did both Pink and Blue (boom, boom, boom, boom), so I am not sure about branding being a factor. It could be to do with inside or outdoor use. I might have to trawl the internet to find out for sure. I used to get it from the local shop. Is it still made? Has Gas taken over completely? We still have Red Diesel in the UK, for agricultural and off-road use. Unscrupulous farmers use it in their landrovers etc. and then whinge if they get caught! It stains the tank too, so even some months after using it, it is easily spotted.?I hasten to add, that Trading Standards, not the Police, do the prosecuting. The silly thing is, that if you put Red Diesel into a plastic see-through container, and leave it outside,?the sun?bleaches it. I think TVO (Tractor Vapourising Oil)?was green. I remember my Granddad using that in his tractors (Obviously!). It would freeze in the?winter, so he would add petrol to it to make sure it started. That stuff smelt like paraffin, so was probably related.

"The best remembered is Aladdin Pink, known after the war as Pink Paraffin. The pink dye was added as a safety feature in order to prevent paraffin being mistaken for other liquids.

Dear Betty and everyone. That was a poem by Brenda Kirkham. I know it is available on some sites on the net. I will find it and send you the link. OK, so this may be a silly question!

Hi, > I do not see a way to search the entire site yet; is there such a feature yet? No there isn't and I don't have any plans to add one. Use the site map -- it's not complete but it will guide you to most of the site. You could try using the Google Advance search: http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_search?hl=en At the moment I am working on a "Christmas Special" for December. And I am also trying to get a form where you can type in your own queries and leave them on the site for other to see. But, without going into boring details, the code that you have to use on RootsWeb to do this sort of thing was written in 1997 - and that's a long time ago in computing terms! It's limited and clumsy. But I'm getting there and it keeps the little grey cells active :-) I hope to have it up and running for January.

Hi Arthur, I have a transcript (OFHS/Banbury Historical Society) of Quaker Registers. Births 1652 to 1837, Marriages 1648 to 1837, Burials 1652 to 1837 There are no 17thC baptisms or marriages of HOPKINS (any spelling variation). There are quite a few HODGKINS - but no baptism of William All I could see was one burial: 25Nov1688 Ann HOPKINS, bur.

I ordered a film from the Family History Library that contained a filming of the digest copy of the Berkshire and Oxfordshire Quarterly Meeting records. Unfortunately, the records were mostly illegible. If anyone has access to these records in another form, I'd appreciate very much hearing whether there were Hopkinses in them during the 1600s. I'm interested in particular in any William Hopkinses. Thanks to anyone who can help.
