Sounds like POR paint, which reacts and seals rust. Water sets it off.

It was mercury in the amalgam, not lead. Probably much worse!

Back in the 1980s I could get worms by sticking a tent peg into the lawn and connecting the active off the extension cord. All the worms would come to the surface. Then a couple of people died doing it and I stopped. Now you can't do it, it would just trip out. -
Bugger!

One approach gives me TS. The other finds a pattern in the anagram of COWBOYS but I can’t think of how that leads to an answer. I am trying!

Thanks, I didn’t really expect an answer! But I am still puzzling over the question. Hope someone can solve it.

Whoever wrote it, it is true. -
I was there too in the 80s and saw many little vans with platforms at the back. So many people at the back that the front wheels only occasionally bounced down onto the road, giving the driver a chance to influence the direction of travel. This photo is from a visit only ten years ago but shows that the state of road transport has not improved.

All the people in a country have to cop responsibility for the mad ones. They are going to get bombed. If it hadn't happened to Germany then there would be no Jews and we would all be speaking German. I can feel sorry for the innocent ones, but they are collateral damage. Ask bomber Harris. -
It was a long time ago, could well be. As a child I stared at the sign trying to understand it.
