I had rollmops for breakfast.

There, that should divide the crowd.
My dad was Dutch. I remember when I was a sprog , and lived in The Hague, that he used to buy soused herring from the market. They were taken out of large barrels, you held them by the tail and walked along eating them. They were gorgeous!
I made enquiries in Amsterdam - those I spoke to didn't know what I was talking about!

Good shout for rollmops!

[QUOTE 4782382, member: 9609"]I have never heard of this done before - I must give it a go (found this article) it sounds interesting. Let us know how you get on, and good luck we don't want to hear about it on the national news.[/QUOTE]

I am still alive. Electrocution or explosion did not occur! I could only get around one amp to register on the dial. I was hoping for two but no higher.

Other than that it worked as advertised. Almost immediately little bubbles (hydrogen I think) started to be given off. 30 or so minutes later and a scum was starting form. After an hour and a half, it looked as below. The charger didn't feel warm so I would have carried on but we had to go out and I didn't want to leave it to it! Today is wet so the experiment will have to wait.

Have you tried Bilt Hamber's Deox C? That stuff is excellent.

We have just had the driest 4 week period since I started keeping records about 10 years ago.
In the last 4 week we have only had 3.6mm (our previous driest 4 week period was 11mm)
In fact this last 12 months has been notably dry with only 24.3 inches (which I believe is drier than the SE of England)[/QUOTE]

So far this year I've recorded 5.04".
Monthly
2.31, 0.87, 1.25, 0.18.

It doesn't really explain why it was so muddy in Feb.

The livers often come from veal calves who don't have particularly pleasant brief lives.
Yes, but the liver is merely a by product of the situation whereby veal is kept and slaughtered. This would still be going on whether or not the liver. I think animals should be afforded decent lives, but production, etc., currently demands otherwise. Some chicken operations aren't that animal friendly either.

Also due to Milk production, cows only produce milk to feed their offspring which are then slaughtered so that we can have the milk.

Some years ago I restored an old motor cycle, including nickel plating the levers etc. Your setup reminds me of that! Worked quite well.
