Did anyone have a Chemistry Set?

They're still around. I've just bought one as a Christmas present for my 9-year old granddaughter (I better get enhanced home insurance for my son!)

I once tried to ram my brother during a race. The only problem being, mine had plastic pram wheels whilst his had metal pram wheels :fail

My Uncle who is almost 70, still has a chipped front tooth from hurtling, face-down, downhill, on a homemade bogie.

I adored this.

So did our man Mr E. But his dad probably wasn't that keen. See post 29. LINK.

I just nicked one for the sake of it!

Not sure what for or what I did with it.
