Yep, that's what we used to use too. Cor, nostaglia ain't what it used to be, eh?

OOOOHHHH I get it mate... , how is the special oil going buddy..fruit shoot bottle could be good, just dont leave your oil on the side for any reason.. ..if your house is out like mine fruit shoots dont last long

used to keep it in a gold plated , diamond encrusted , lead crystal, faberge designed, two stroke dispenser, with two flying unicorns lovingly engraved on the side, with an angels wing , in white gold, as the stopper, signed in platinum by socrates and isaac newton, "to goldeneye, your"e the greatest". but it fell off my sprint rack and broke, so i chucked it and use a fruit shoot bottle as well.

It was unfortanate that a couple of years ago our nipper was in hospital and had his feed in small quantities in bottles supplied by the hospital. It seemed a waste to throw them away afterwards, so I took some home and washed them. 100ml and 200ml sizes, they're perfect for shorter journeys, for anything longer I either take a few or take the bottle it comes in.

I use a small Nalgene bottle (for camping) with mL markings on the side....it's easy to figure out 2%, 3%, etc... Gotta be compact if it's gonna fit in a lammy toolbox.

A buddy of mine uses an old Jagermeister bottle.

the bottle it comes in and use LML measure jug as its larger for bigger tanks and is marked in 3% increments
