       "Dear all I am wondering if anyone can help me to find a cure to two
        pains in the rear end?

         "The first regards the removal of Lichens from the glass panels of a
          25 year old glasshouse. I have thus far scrapped as much as I can
          off the sections, but there still remains patches that are reddish
          in colour, with some smaller also still in tact."

As to your "pains in the rear end", Nathan, You're doin' it all wrong if
you have lichens OR Earwigs there !
*grin*
Algae and lichen may be removed cleanly from glass with a strond acid,
and it kills as it cleans. Here, I use "Lime-A-Way" brand, which is a
hard water stain remover, but I have no idea if it's available there.
