Whaddye mean "perhaps"!!??

Don't forget, the good Captain is an expert in theses matters. His Bachelor and Master's degrees were in Sausiology. He's clever, he's got an ology. His PhD thesis was on The History of Cornish Suasage Mines which was also his specialist subject on Mastermind.

 

He could probably teach these lawyers a thing or two.

I should have rang this back in the 80s

On my 17th birthday I slipped on a sausage I'd dropped and put my hand though a window a cut my wrist needing stitches!

This was in what is now the NYMR shop at Grosmont

Looks like a fake to me and may/will discourage much benefited use.

 

The reason? - Too much energy for a PP3 to expend, but I suppose it may be mains powered. In which case I can't think of a component that could give out that much carbon/soot.

(A wiring fault perhaps?)

Somebody replacing the battery with a substandard LiPo?

 

Dry cells have too much internal resistance to generate dangerous currents when shorted but, many years ago, I got quite a good smoke show from a styrene and plywood garden railway loco body when the NiCads got frisky.

In 23 years of 'sparking' I've never come across this before. Looks like one of those cheap £5 jobbies
