Technically incorrect. It would be both a solution and a suspension, with the poisonous xylene probably absorbed into small colloidal particles... :tea:
The reaction between Protium Hydroxide and Xylene would probably be an emulsion.

As is gravy...
Xylene being non-polar, there would be no "reaction"

Given a variety of organic particles in suspension, the xylene would most likely be adsorbed by them, particularly if they contained fats...

Maybe, but the emulsion would not be stable without surfactants being present.
Given a variety of organic particles in suspension, the xylene would most likely be adsorbed by them, particularly if they contained fats...
...so the fats would act as surfactants creating the stable xylene-water interface, as previously described.

Hence gravy.

Never been in a Lidl or Aldi. The nearest one is on the other side of town which is an appropriate place to be.

The Romanians had a excuse with the horsemeat being dirt poor, and it was at least edible - actually quite nice, but this is pure Germanic spitefullness for us leaving their Greater European Union.

In the reporting on the Berlin attack last night on a German television channel they had an "expert" who said the German character was at fault. He said, most pedestrian areas in Germany have no protective installations to prevent cars from entering while those in Souther European countries do. And his explanation was that because Germans generally follow orders, it is usually enough to put up signs to prevent cars from entering these areas while in Southern European countries, a sign would not be enough to prevent even normal car drivers from entering.

I thought you Germans would have learned after Nuremberg... just following orders is never an acceptable excuse.

Scot, it would be sensible to make a nice distinction between the daughter of one's sibling and a city in southern France... :tea:

There's always this kind of teleological hand-wringing after a terrible incident like this, a quite natural 'knowing what we know now we should have done something before this thing happened to stop it from happening' attitude. Partly it due to a need to map the web of causes and effects, and in part--not insignificantly I think--it often comes down to the media looking around to see who is responsible, or who can be held responsible, for the incident (someone aside from the perpetrator that is, someone in authority). That Germans wait for the lights to change before crossing the road, for example, even when there's no cars on the highway, is not a weakness of national character or a flaw in the social order. Neither is expecting or trusting motorist to not mount the pavement and drive through a market, or whatever. One can't live one's life constantly on guard against the possible random acts of nutters -- not least because any nutters capacity to be nutty far outstrips the sane citizen's capacity to imagine possible nuttery -- at least, not without succumbing to unfocused fear and the whispered ravings of Captain Paranoia.
