No that's two shillings....

I can remember forecourts selling 2/3/4 & 5 star and some weird conical device for two-stroke oil (I think), or was that a fire extinguisher?

And Esso Blue Paraffin on the forecourt too......

Explains why old cars never seemed to catch fire...
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
