@RecDiffs Hi, since Merlin specifically mentioned that he was sad that there was no lead follow-up last ep…
I assume that you already know this, but just in case: the word ‘plumbing’ comes from the Latin ‘Plumbum’ = Lead. The Romans pretty much invented plumbing and used lead. It’s a very ductile metal, so easy to make pipes with.
Some people believe that the decline and fall of the Roman Empire was due to lead poisoning due to this. I cannot be bothered to check if this is true.
