Does ayone still use it for lead work?

If so, what type and where do you acquire it?

If you live anywhere near Great Yarmuff, you could try asking at any of
the chip salons in the market place. They all smell remarkably as though
they use tallow to cook the chips. Revolting smell at times........

It's the 'Yorkshire' smell :-)

Where most chip shops still use Lard for cooking chips. and yes it's a
horrible smell....... :-)

But they do taste just so much better :-)

It's one of the things I really miss, living now in the SE.

Use yer own chip pan

I used to have one which had beautiful fat in it. I put the fat from
frying everything from bacon to steaks in it, Beautiful tasty chips I
got from it.

It wasn't geographic location which caused the problem, it was marital
status
