Look folks, I'm not really an expert I just flog the pipes. However I really do think copper is a brilliant metal, but I wouldn't munch too much lead. Brenda's remarks on the suggested use of copper as a bug killer in hospitals, I think, supports my earlier posting. Copper will often kill the weedy nasty bugs before they become super-tuff nasty bugs. Beeky
