Leaded solder
I see neither Screwfix and Toolstation stock the real stuff, only lead free.
Has there been some recent legislation I've missed or is it still allowed on non-potable water systems? |

I expect there is not much demand for it, since for plumbing work the lead free is easy enough to use and works well[1], and the call to make wiped joints onto lead pipe is probably not great for many users!
