Can anyone recommend a brand of scented candle that doesn't burn too much and make too much smoke?

As usual, in the wrong conversation!

Don't they still use "people of colour" in the USA?

True Grace make lovely ones, Vanilla - all natural wax.

No, Jess, but a lot of the inhabitants dress like it's 1952.

Oooh better I'll Google that now.

From now on, whenever I have to fill in a form that asks for my 'ethnic origin', I'm going to put 'Smartie'. Because I am. They can figure out the colour for themselves.

It's just insane!

Fuck me - they're £138!!!!!!

We are all people with feelings that can be hurt, we dont need someone with a bloody great wooden spoon coming on this site goading members and trying to put folk into neat little boxes

Speech over

We should all write POC in the box because we're all a colour! Bits of me are yellowish at the moment and the rest is bright red as I'm in a very hot bath.

What's £138.00, Vanilla? Not candles?

Excellent point, as ever portia.

Talking about feelings, I hope I didn't hurt yours earlier. I absolutely believe the poster on the FB page to be 100% who they say they are. But yeah, 400 friends is most definitely 'braggy'....

Yup - the big one!!!!

I'm purple.

From the lido.

Well, I don't know how big that one is, at that price! The ones I've bought are between £16 - £20 and smelled divine. Lasted a long time too..,

Smut.

Jess Well have to disagree on that but sooner or later that person will trip over themselves. No you didn't hurt my feelings at all.
I think I am suffering from a fucked up fake tan as I bought that lotion stuff and got distracted so forgot one leg. did it when I remembered but shades of leg don't match.
Oh when I was a pre teen I thought my fanjo ponged so pinched my Mums spray deodarant. Nearly went through the ceiling. Jeez that stung !!

Yes, as I thought, the OP is American, or living in the USA. "People of Color" is (currently) the accepted term there - she's not trying to be rude. I actually think her intentions are genuine.

No, Jess, no smut, smoke or pollution at all. These are classy candles.

DS whinged 4hours solid in IKEA -my nerves are shredded 😨

😤😲

😖

You sound as if you need a scented candle right now, Vanilla. And a

I'm going to be cultural and sing land of hope ang glory with a man from ROI. Their rugby union team are the mutts nutts

Portia I would like to know why I'm apparently "iffy" and what I will eventually trip over? What were you saying a moment ago about not hurting people's feelings or being goady?
