Before blackberry season gets under way...

When I was a kid back in the 80s, I was told not to pick and eat fruit growing next to busy roads. In these days of near-universal unleaded petrol, does this advice still hold true at all?

Depends how much lead settled in the soil and plants before the changeover. Fresh lead can be partly washed off, internally absorbed into the poor plants is nasty.
