Was also used as a fixative and fabric softener  when dying wool and tweed (again, Google it if you don't believe me!) - in earlier times the  UK House of Lords was said to smell of urine because of members' wearing of heavy woollen suits.

Marina.

No one is peeing on my thongs stawka - of any variety

I have heard that if you are lost in the bush and cant find water

you can drink your own pee once to survive

after that it is too concentrated

and also in the petrol tank if your running low just to get you a few more ks

I can remember they used to say if you rubbed urine on warts, they would disappear.
