water supplied through lead pipes

Hiya folks, I am brand new to mylot so hello. My first discussion is about lead water pipes, there are still quite a lot of properties that are supplied via these old pipes. Firstly, lead is poisonous, but they have been there that long that a barrier has no doubt developed between the inside of the pipe and the water flowing through. The pipes would have been a lot more poisonous when brand new, our ancestors probably went bald quite young and wrinkled up pretty fast, all the basic ailments that lead to old age are accelerated by lead poisoning. It doesn't just kill us, our bodies get used to it like smoking cigarettes. Lead is also embedded in many a painted wall around the world, because most old paints are lead based. All I can suggest is that you get your water pipes replaced at the soonest convenience. I will oblige to give anyone in the UK a cheaper replacement price than anyone else. I can do it for peanuts and I want to help people - some people will try and charge you upto £1000 for this work, they're just shameless.
