Did you use a King Eddie, Albert Bartlett, or a Jersey Royal !?
Would take ages with a Jersey Royal
Glad it cured your squeaking as they are so annoying when they do that.
It's many years since I have heard this suggested.
An alternative is dampened newspaper, other than the FT, of course.
You then have newspaper & potatoes - just add chips.
NJSSAm I Gammon or Woke ? - I neither know nor care.

They just make the best of everything they have.
