Let us not foget how incredibly behind the science and, most particularly, many other countries, we were regarding lead in petrol.
Funny coincidence so has my local butcher ! Not sure if he's open but you can ring in an order and it's free delivery on any order. I see some pubs are doing a take-away service on beer as well, I guess you can adapt to any situation if you have to.
It isn't confusing, as the government have confirmed, you can buy anything you like from any shop legally open.
They'll be doing take away funerals next!
Takes me back, when I was 12 years I used to work in a butchers mincing dripping 5 shillings for an afternoons work. That butcher was a right crackpot, he used to pull a sleeve down on his white overalls and shove a pigs trotter in place of his hand. He would then wait for an old lady to walk in to buy her tripe and serve her with the trotter still in place
Yeah, I have a feeling that's what saw my father off working in a dockyard as he did for a while. Would you believe asbestos was even used in the brewing industry at one time in the beer filters.

Just imagine doing that now, the trotter would of course go back in the window afterwards...can't have waste.
Copied and sent to my daughter who has a butcher's shop.
There is more to this tale: the Guys who worked on the Boiler Making half of the Factory thought the Guys who worked in the pottery half had a cushy job, as instead of being universally covered in black sand and filthy soot , they worked in a warm environment wearing short sleeved white natches that looked like nurses uniforms, we only found out later that they died like flies from silicosis caused by the white dust when they opened the plaster of paris moulds and fettled the unfired toilets pans and washbasins they were making, and worst off of all where the guys in the cast iron bath plant that applied the glaze as a powdered frit to red hot bath castings, apart from the heat, the frit contained lead and antimony, many died of cancer.
Didn't something escape from Porton Down at one time many years ago? I used to know someone who worked there, I don't know if he was pulling my leg but remember him telling me the walls where they meet the floor are curved so no skirting edge. I would have thought that was to make cleaning easier but he said it's to stop rats running up the walls should they drop one....charming.
China are also denying they're the source and are in turn pointing the finger at the French
WE used every available grade, including wool, powder, rope, pad and moulded forms, as to the colour, it never occurred to us to ask.
Certainly sounds like a leg pull to me, can't see how having a curved bottom of the wall as opposed to a square edge with skirting would make it any more difficult for a rat to climb up the wall. If the walls were plastered or tiled I don't think a rat could climb up it anyway. They are good climbers but they need something to grip on I would think.
I never saw any walls like that in my four terms there as a guinea pig for experiments, probably because I'm not classed as a rat, whatever others might think. However there may well have been in animal experimentation labs, but of course I was in the human experimentation labs side.
