If they've been put on with wallpaper paste, they're easy to remove cleanly.

most were put on with a hideous brown glue, which takes an age to remove,
after you've mashed every tile into approx 7,000 pieces to get to the HBG

Decorators my parents used said it was cheaper to replace the ceiling
(either over boarding or rip down and replace) than spend the time
taken trying to take down the tiles and clean up the ceiling back to
an acceptable finish.

I had put the tiles up as a teenager when it was my bedroom, very well
as it happens (none showed any sign of coming off easily). Parents had
the ceiling taken down and took the opportunity to have insulation batts
put up there (lack of insulation was why I fitted them in the first place).

Yes, they had the virtue of hiding a poor ceiling finish (cracks and/or
artex or peeling paint) and providing insulation whilst at the same time
being incredibly light weight allowing the use of a cheap and not so
strong adhesive (and if any did fall away, no risk of injury).

The only serious problem was that they proved to be a serious fire
hazard (but only in the event of a fire - they weren't usually the cause
of the initial conflagration, just additional accelerant in the event).

The (now long standing) advice in regard of such ceiling tiles is to
remove them for fire safety reasons. When we moved into our current
Victorian built 5/6 bedroomed semi-detached house just over 30 years ago,
I think over half of the rooms had been cursed by such polystyrene
ceiling tile blight.

The only room still so cursed is the first floor bedroom I use as my
office/workshop. Some time in the next year or so (I'm considering
retiring from the computer repair business RSN), assuming we've not been
burnt to a crisp by a house fire, I'm planning on having these remaining
ceiling tiles removed since, aside from being a fire hazard, they'll
depress the resale value of the property when we finally do pull up
stumps and move into a house more suited to our needs as an elderly
"Empty Nest" couple.

The main danger is that in a fire they give off deadly fumes.

Yup, they're dead but not sure they're dead.

Wonderful invention. the real person to have a go at is the adhesive maker,
cos the tiles come off fine when you want to change the look, but the
adhesive seems be to be mostly rock hard or rock hard with a rubbery layer
that does not want to come off.

They are actually quite good at insulation, and the later ones, like the
ones in use in my house have a very low temp melt and hence do not spread
fire like napalm as the earlier ones did.

We had them in our house when I was a kid at least 60 years ago - and
they weren't a new idea then. I suppose there's an outside chance that
the inventor is still alive, but he/she would have to be pretty old!

I have in the past used acoustic tiles to cover a ceiling which
had previously had polystyrene tiles (fixed with very hard
adhesive) (1) on top of artex, but they were quite expensive -
actually pretty close to what a skim would have cost.

IIRC they were the same sort of tiles that can be used in
suspended ceilings, but sticking them direct was fine, using the
nominated (also expensive) adhesive.

The tiles remained for about 10 years until a complete kitchen
refit. This time the entire ceiling was brought down (partly to
allow an extractor duct to be fitted) and re-plastered.

(1) Actually two sets of adhesive marks - the installer had
clearly started the job, then realised they needed to swap from
tile central to join central, and ripped them off again.

Surprisingly, it's water based, so it does soften and melt with continuous
soakings.
It sets again, very hard. I'm not 100% certain but i think it's fish size

He goes into the kitchen and his grandma's peeling spuds at the sink, he
asks her, 'how old do you think I am grandma?'
She replied, 'come over here and I'll tell you', she proceeds to put her

Maybe they should bring back the ones about how to use a roundabout.

I had a brilliant road rage yesterday morning at a roundabout. I was fine
until the clueless ****** that had no idea how to use a roundabout blasted
his horn at me. So I decided to go for it - I held my lane and forced him to
get back into his lane or lose a door and then due to a litle red mist I got
in front him, slammed on my brakes on jumped out of the van and approached
the driver of the car.

The slamming on of the brakes had caused him to spill his cereals and milk
all over himself and the car seat. The clueless **** was eating a bowl of
cornflakes.

There was the 4 x 4 following me along a narrow lane near home,
where I know that sight lines are tricky, and oncoming vehicles
can appear unexpectedly. He tailgated, and then sounded his horn,
so I stopped, and went back for a chat, suggesting that if it had
not been for his impatience, he would have been a lot further
