I remember a whole roll of magnesium ribbon went missing from our chemistry lesson at my school circa 1978.
All the class were called back after school and were told we were in unlimited detention until the roll turned up. We sat there for about an hour and then were told we could go home.
It turned out the teacher had unwittingly put the roll in his own jacket pocket during the lesson and while sitting in the staff room while we were all in detention put his hand into his pocket for his pipe and found the roll...
A classmate took some magnesium ribbon that he'd swiped from school to the Ritzys u18 friday evening-er. He was the first of our class to get chucked out of a club by the bouncers, shortly after he'd lit a strip of the ribbon. /csb
