Guest Freebird Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 What, nae whisky? Sorry mate couldn't resist.
greenlands Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Ther's one on the list that I just carn't quite see,lead,I would have thought that there should be no lead content at all unless the pipework is that old they are still using lead pipes????? I always allow the water I use for the pigeons to stand over night and let most of the above crap to disipate for want of a better word. Lindsay
