Your nose is about the best detector for contaniments. I had one that
contained glue and I just peeled off the set glue... Les

You need lesson in the "Art of Glue sniffing." :-)


Many years before glue sniffing became a passtime for the dissaffected
"Yoof" we were sat in 1st year woodwork aged about 11. Woodwork teachers
explicit instructions were "Don't sniff the sanding sealer! You''ll get as
high as a kite!"

Needless to say many rags soaked in the aforementioned liquid ended up in
the playground next break. We really wouldn't have thought of it if he
hadn't mentioned it....

Mr. Holly, very strange man. Caned kids for leaving the set square at the
wrong angle in the draw or other tiny little infractions of his regime. Must
have been about 1974.... still can't help thinking the schools started
their decline when caning was stopped. Even though it was often me on the
wrong end of the size 10 trainer in games etc.
