Interesting to know Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce is available in the
USA.

I live in the next county to Worcestershire.

I cook for myself and use a small bottle in two or three weeks.

But as for your subsidiary use on ground rods I hope they're made of
carbon.
Ordinary metals are less resistant to attack than my stomach lining.

Lea & Perrins is the ONLY Worcestershre sauce! ;-)

Most of wouldn't waste it on ground rods, but I'm sure Bob thought that too
funny not to at least try.

Finally, success at last!!

I tried the Lea & Perrins Worchestershire overnight on the corroded
ground rod. It did little but attract 2-inch cockroaches.

This morning, I brought out the heavy stuff: a mixture of vinegar,
lemon juice and salt, applied with a steel wool pad.

It still wasn't working; my VOM showed no continuity.

So, a trip to Lowes for Brasso and sandpaper.

The Brasso did nothing. But the sandpaper (#150 fine) seemed to do the
trick. Now my VOM shows continuity in the cleaned area of the rod.

I'll probably augment this old ground rod with a new one laid in a
horizontal ditch (got rock about 12" down), but at least the old rod
is working again.

It would seem increasingly the case in Britland that the
only good clean copper is a dead one.

Blakelock and the like are public justice in reparation for the
number of people killed by the plods; plods who then get off
scot-free.
