I'm amazed that the council are so reluctant to analyze this 'stuff', according to the news it would cost "hundreds of dollars". That doesn't sound like a huge amount... What if it's toxic?!?!?

Anyone seen the lumps? Apparently there is a chunk for sale on Trade Me!!

Don't swimmers coat themselves in it to keep warm, or was that just some weird dream I had?! :exit:laugh

Yes swimmers do but usually they have smaller container fulls!

Gone overboard?
Dropped by a plane?

Is it completely lard or has the lard surrounded 'something'?

Here in the UK we are often told not to put fats/oils down the drain as it collects and then blocks the drains....
