Another wonderful posting. I particularly like the four square cigarettes. I have never heard of the branding. I have seen most of the others used with different rates.I will update the list of users for the 3d green and repost it here shortly.

It was made here and other brands of that company still are. In Sydney it used to be in Balmain, but may have moved. Persil is no longer sold as a brand.

quicksingle · **Posted:** Fri Apr 02, 2010 09:13:57 am

Persil is still sold in the UK.
