I did some experiments years ago, maybe a decade or more. The best clearing
bath I found was some stuff used to remove rust stains from spas. There a
re a variety of them available at pool supply and hardware stores. They all
seem to work well. Presumably safe as well, as you are expected to also
steep in the spa along with the stuff. Cleans ferric oxalate stains off of
your bippy too.

OK

We need some translations.

What's a 'spa' , 'a swimming pool' ?

A bibby , a 'pinny' ?

And, from elsewhere, a 'ciglee'?

I remember going into a caff where they served a fried slice and two wet
sugars. I was asked if I wanted 'buppy' with my soup. To my horror I heard
myself saying 'yes'.
