I recall reading an advertisement in the model railway magazines advising people to 'buy before it's banned'. In other words, buy this product (anything with lead in it, from what I could work out) while it's still sold legally. Including 'liquid lead' weight, from what I remember.
Aren't there more important things for our legislators to think about other than things such as the above which would anyway only be bought by people who know what they are doing?
A bit OT, but my 15 year old daughter went to buy some PVA glue a few weeks ago and was asked her age by the shop assistant. Err....it's PVA, and as far as I know PVA is not harmful.
