Amazing these things still turn up after all these years.

I can still remember Junior School during breaktime and a kid running across the playing fields to the duty teacher with an unexploded WW2 Grenade in his hand, shouting, "sir, look what I've found".

We were all sent home at mid morning for the day. Brilliant.

"The station has now reopened after it was established the "bomb" was in fact a gas cylinder with no danger of explosion."

FFS. One is black, round with a fuse on the top and the other is blue with Calor written on the side.
