gazzaw Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Has it anything to do with insect control. Seen something similar used inside tents and buildings to repel mosquitos etc think it worked on sound/vibration waves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Not being British rules it out then - as far as I'm aware it is only the British who have an obsession with nasal hair. Yes we grow & other nations like to harvest it. A major export you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen something similar used inside tents and buildings to repel mosquitos etc think it worked on sound/vibration waves I like it Gary. Sounds a splendid idea but its not that. One British idea for insect control was for men to get soapy hands & go round clapping at insects. The idea was that teams from huts would see who could catch the most mosquitoes. This served three functions. 1. Insect control 2. Stop boredom 3. Increase moral for the winning team I AM being perfectly serious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
