Is it time to start taking the P*ss again?

Jeremy Vine BBC2 today... was talking about how urine historically was being used in the processing of many materials and questioning if it was time to bring it back.

Apparently people used to put it in buckets outside their house for collection, being payed for it even - lol.

The radio discussion suggested people around now would remember this?

Any Ph people that remember taking the piss ?

...It speeds the cooling of metal heated to make it workable. Unlike water, where a film of steam is formed so that the liquid water doesn't actually contact the metal, with urine crystals are formed which bridge the gap and speed cooling.
