How old is this bottle?

[Renard]

I was out on Balmedie beach yesterday. It is a very impressive place. Amongst the usual flotsam and jetsam was this bottle which caught the eye as it seemed a familiar design. Then I noticed the special price at the top of the bottle which really dates it. Shows how long this stuff is going to be around for

I'd put the second in a spoiler, not everyones gonna want to see that matey.

Fair enough, what's the brand on it, I can't really make it out.

Squezy - not sure if they still make it. It was a unilever brand back in the day.

The washing up liquid is before my time, or at least the time I was big enough to reach the sink.

I thought the seal photo was fine, no gore, just dead. They do die.

Was there any left in it?

No decimal halfpennies in the UK after 1st Feb 1984. They were introduced in 1971.

So by that 'token' your bottle is between 25 and 39 years old. It looks in good nick, I would suggest ebay.

As for the seal, I've never seen anything like that on ebay but you never know your luck. Suggest 'buyer to collect' though.

I remember this well. It's probably mid-70s given the price on it. It hasn't been seen since around 1980 sadly.

The amount of plastic floating round the seas is truly shocking!

I think the mods could do if they think its suitable? It wasn't anything bad. Just a young common seal which looked like it was asleep.
