It looks a lot like concentrated Coke, in fact. I've tried Coke in
the toilet, without much success, but hadn't boiled it down first.
BW are asking us to avoid phosphate containing detergents, especially
in washing machines, to avoid potential pollution probs in the
watercourses, but admit that there's no real problem yet. (see http://
