Pommie said:Interesting article. I still find it hard to come to terms with the fact that I had two very intelligent parents who got all their water through lead pipes. I often wonder how intelligent I would have been had it not been for lead pipes.
Going from lead pipes that carried drinking water to no lead in my TV seems a little extreme.
