Almost totally off the subject of the thread, (keep 'em coming, please Cliff), but touching vaguely on the Brylcreem subject: the Irish (or was it the Brits?) made an excellent WW2 movie ten years ago called "The Brylcreem Boys". Based (loosley, I suspect) on a true story about Brits and Germans interred in two halves of the same camp during WW2. Great story, with the added bonus of more than a flash of very decorative boob by the leading lady, (Jean Butler?) who was lead dancer in 'River Dance' for some time. A bit like Cliff's excellent stories, it tells of a sideline of the war that perhaps most of us wouldn't have known anything about. Here's the link:
