HP Sauce works quite well, also. I can remember someone who sold a quack
medecine for many years in Shepherds Bush Market, West London, who used to
demonstrate the effect HP Sauce would have on one's innards by cleaning
pennies with the stuff. I suppose it was the vinegar that did the cleaning.
He wore a hearing aid when he got older, I always wondered why his
miraculous liquid didn't cure his deafness, he claimed it cured everything
else. 8-)

That was about 50 years ago, BTW. He'd get into trouble for that sort of
thing these days.
