The fact is that it is a civil contract, he can legally only claim his losses if the parker is in breach of the contract and he cannot impose penalty charges.

Nice stuff, had a test tube with rather a lot in in a locker, opened the door one day to find it had changed state and the inside of the locker was an interesting yellowish brown colour. Glad I wasn't around when it did it...............

Good point. Powdered aluminium and silver nitrate powder would be better - if you could find a dry 5 minutes to install it...

Yes - my chemistry teacher was ex-ICI.

It was a look around to see if anyone had been injured moment, followed by "how the f*ck am I going to get rid of that 6 foot circle of purple off the ceiling"

Strangely enough, the top of the jam jar remained intact

It took my ears a few days to stop ringing
