Agreed, but if you're building here in Britain, get your supplies NOW,
before the nanny state takes them away from you. Leaded solder is about
to become a thing of the past. Bastids.


Where did you get this information? As far as I know there is no intention
to stop the sales of leaded solder for repair etc work. It will of course
be more difficult to obtain - but all the major electronics suppliers
still have it in all types. I'm not including Maplin as an electronics
supplier...;-)
