Didn,t know anything about the stuff til my mate showed me his new Insignia and pointed it out, filler cap is beside fuel filler cap. Is this an afterthought of the emissions scandal?

It's been around much longer than that. The VW emissions scandal was hardly a surprise, as they were the only manufacturer who were 'conforming' to the standards without recourse to such devices.

Did farmers keep these animals purely for their piss, in a darkened barn with a hosepipe one end and a bucket the other?

When I was a lad, we used to spray pigs piss all over the runways and taxiways when snow was expected to stop them freezing up too much and so we could keep the airfield operational  ;)

Then they got all posh and clever and made a crystalline form that could be spread by a gritter lorry and called it Urea (and charged lots of money for it as well).

When mixed with the stuff put in foam making equipment for fire appliances (made from waste blood collected from abattoirs - and also very expensive) it makes one of the best fertilisers going...... many a military fireman has won awards at Country Shows for their veg and flowers !!

That be because of the high nitrate content, I think the urea you refer to is what is now called ad-blue.

I think that stuff found its way up the hill to Binbrook during my last winter there during 86 / 87.
Smelt real sweet iirc  :-\

Got told about the firemen and there veg off a lasses dad (flt sgt fireman) who I was poking for a while  ;D
Thought it was a old wife's tail until I heard the same out in sausage land  :y


Ps............ I was poking the lass, NOT the fireman (before anybody gets the wrong idea)
