Petroleum Jelly

Post by Keith »

Can anyone tell me where I can get a 250g jar of cheap Petroleum Jelly from please.

Been looking everywhere and can only find small jars and they are really dear.
I got a few jars at the Euro shop on Polis road when it was open, now on last jar and can't find any let alone any at a decent price.

Thanks, Keith

Keith have you tried the 'Euro shop's' replacement, called 'The Beauty Shop' (I think). They have loads of UK products in there.. It is a few hundred yards from the Evangelismos Hospital, near where the old You Kays was..

Hi, Keith. If you google or bing search for Evangelismos Paphos, you'll see a nice map. I just tried to save the bing map, in order to attach here for you, but haven't quite worked out how to do this in Firefox here yet.

But that will give you a very good idea of where to park, and start exploring from, a few hundred yards away. Just ask local shops for directions to 'Beauty Box' shop.

Cheers- AL :)

Here is a map from Polis road.. The junction off Polis road has a yellow postbox on the corner..
There is no guarantee this shop has what you want. But if you take your wife with you I guarantee she will spend something in there

Nothing beats a nice bowl of popcorn when you settle down to watch a good film.

But is the popcorn gluten-free Dom??

My favourite supper for the rare occassions I watch a full length film these days, on account that Sly have killed their Movies and Sport on 28.2E, so I have to watch it upstairs in the office on Vermin Cable...

9" Goodfellas Deep Pan Pepperoni frozen Pizza from Tesco, at usually around a couple of quid. 25 mins in pre-heated oven @ Gas Mark 5 and voilá! Mind you, just before popping it into the oven, I invariably sprinkle it with crushed black pepper, dried hot red chillie flake, and a couple of hot green finger chillies from India finely sliced and spread all around. Yummy!!

Always laugh when the leaflets from the local Pizza outlets come through our letterbox. All the same BOGOF format, but all such silly prices!

Cheers- AL :)
