Don Cleavin – Smell of diesel

We used to come ashore stinking of diesel …

Simon; Oh, I meant to ask you about the diesel, yeah. It literally clung to your clothes was it.

Oh yeah. Even when you washed them, you couldn’t wash the smell of diesel out. It gets into your skin.

I used to wash my hands … if I’d been to the toilet, I’d wash my hands in a bucket of diesel.

That’s the way to do it.
