When I were a lad it was chalk (although probably not pure calcium carbonate).

caravanlover, you might find it in a health food shop such as Barrett & Holland or similar, if you have any nearby.

^^ Are you the Irish or Scottish one?

I remember buying it in a smallish bag from the pharmacy in Boots many moons ago. I had to ask for it. They use it in some medicines I think.

hello - sorry for gatecrashing ur thread but its a similar query I think...
Anyone know where I can get citric acid from? My mum used to add it to icing sugar to make home made sherbert, but I'd like to use it as a descaler.

You should be able to get citric acid from a decent wine-making supplier (if there's any left). Web linky (no endorsement, haven't used them) http://www.hotfroguk.co.uk/Products/citric-acid
