Tupenny cannons were good:-)

Also, you got more for your money after the 5th.

A friend of mine used to make what he called "simulated atomic explosions".

He ground up an old magnesium shell casing to get lots of powder. Then did the chlorate/sugar thing in an empty paint can with a well fitting lid. Petrol was involved somewhere.

You need some pretty powerful explosives to demolish an old BT red phone box with decades of thick red paint layers too.

[Andrew]

I don't think that deters the folks in Northern Ireland in July.

Don't be cynical Jim, you will get old and lonely one day.

The roof is only held in place by pegs into the sides. Lift the roof and it falls apart. None of the individual parts were brokem - apart from some glass. paint =- what's that?

[Sysadmin]

We used sparklet soda cylinders.

My cousin was a GPO apprentice in the 70's and worked for GPO/BT for decades. He bought 2 or 3 old red phone boxes. There are family photos of him and his dad strapping one that had been delivered to their home and left upright in the drive, onto a heavy duty trailer frame which they then winched over, with restraining straps so that the box was horizontal on the trailer base. then they manhandled it on the trailer wheels into the back garden and reversed the process. I don't remember any precautions about it falling apart.

You think every news organisation has a nice quiet (and free) studio handy?

I'd guess your cat is used to ignoring things it hears, living with you.

[Jim GM4DHJ ...]

indeed

[williamwright]

Good solid argument there.

I have found sellers more helpful in giving the noise level on a box label. I just aimed for the 'High' variety for maximum enjoyment.
