Weedkiller when they used Sodium Chlorate and it didn't have "fire depressant" in it :-) And when fertilizer was Ammonium Nitrate. Oh the joys!
(GCHQ: If you are listening, I was only a boy and I never blew anything big up.)
I used to go to Boots and buy glycerine and pottasium permanganate. I remember getting a bollocking of my mates mum when I made a depth charge and blew her goldfish pond up. I followed that up by building a bazooka out of steel conduit tubing and shot a hole in her up and over garage doors. The car was out fortunately and all the local kids were banned from 'playing out' with me for some reason. Great days.
