Not stuff to put in the bin

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Got the following e-mail from our daughter this morning:

Hi Dad & Mum,
After watching UXB as a kid, I can’t imagine doing this.

Story goes on to describe finding a WWII Artillery Shell in the garbage. While most of you in Canada probably saw this, though the rest of us around the world would get a kick out of it.

My response to my daughter -
Glad we had you watch all that educational television. Also asked her if she remembers buy a couple of grenades with her brother at an military flea market in the 70s?

They were real grenades that had the powder removed and fuses fired. (yes - checked) They're still kicking around the house complete with handle and ring still attached. Now those should be interesting in the estate sale some day in the distant future.

Cheers Phil
