Phosphorescence eh?

Reminds me of the time in Cheltenham, myself aged around four, sometime
pre WWII, when some bought 'fresh' but apparently about to putrefy,
fish sitting on a marble cutting block in the pantry of our house on
Hewlett Rd. was observed, in the dark, to be glowing slightly!

Come to think of it that's how those 'light sticks' that you shake to
activate, work?
No fridges in those days.

BTW the next house we lived in, in Liverpool was 'gas only' and that
was in the 1950s!

Off topic I know; but nostalgia!

Try pulling apart the gummed flap of a Jiffy bag in total darkness.
