After some intensive research I have ascertained that SEO are using the name Frogpack in France for biodegradable coffins.

If you read the first line of my post 15781 above, you will see why I like the concept of biodegradable coffins.
I have always thought that I am biodegradable - (after cremation).

Equally I suppose the French for hopping mad is fou de houblonnage, although perhaps this might be seen to biodegrade the French language. Don't let TFC catch us having fun with his native tongue! (always thought The Frog Collection was an odd name to choose)

The most exciting development at SEO at the moment is Polar Foil. Trials are underway (so I'm told) for a packaging that, though not biodegradable, has the massive environmental benefit of being so efficient at insulation, it can keep frozen food frozen for up to two weeks at room temperature.
Imagine the impact this could have on not needing those freezer lorries, or instore freezers, and all the energy that would save, as well as space in the warehouse etc.
I don't think they've even thought of the possibilities for house insulation etc.
Now this really is big!!!!

I dont think it was in a Carry On film - it was in Up Pompeii (Frankie's prog on TV).

Nope - It may have been both but seems it was Carry On Cleo first:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A744914
It is no coincidence that the BBC series Up Pompeii was written by the Carry On punster-in-chief, Talbot Rothwell. Francis was the ideal man to spout the great Rothwell lines, for even when the women are voluptuous and Frankie has taken all manner of love filters, sex is still something to be done, not for the lust or desire, but because they may as well, as, 'It's bitter out!'.
Rothwell was a man who enjoyed the cheap joke and memorable line, perhaps his shining hour was when he wrote that famous line in Carry On Cleo for a rather fey Julius Caesar, played by a man with gladiatorial campery, Kenneth Williams, 'Infamy Infamy, they've all got it infamy!'
