Moral Support:
If there’s anything on Retroleum you find useful and want to say thanks, UK shoppers can go to the Amazon homepage via this link and it’ll earn me a small affiliate fee when buying. Better still, if you enter the ASIN code for an Amazon item you’re about to buy (found in its product description) here, that will gain me a little bit more :) Neither option affects the price of the item and there’s no privacy issues to worry about. Many thanks!
