2 things: 1, try something called "barkeeper's friend" for the oil. I've never found anything that gets stains out like it, and it's not horrid on your skin or the environment either. Any supermarket will have it. Alternatively, I'm sure someone will have some swarfega somewhere :) 2, how did you get the fru back? This might sound daft, but do you lock it up when you leave it? I had visions of you fumbling with keys while being laden down like a pack horse... oh, and did you push him? ;)
