That and the pellets that make those snakes was all part of the indoor

I _really_ wouldn't make those these days (My Dad made them when I was
a kid). Apart from a few recipes that just aren't impressive enough to
be worth it, they really are nastily carcinogenic.


I remember you could buy those on a card of indoor fireworks. The
black-green smoke and the stink was enough to put you off.

For a short while I did go into the chemist and asked for some of the
chemicals that appeared in the books but I got bored with being told
"no!" Well, would you sell stuff to a schoolboy ?

For those who haven't grown up yet!
