[QUOTE="Pete E, post: 661263, member: 18110"] My thoughts at the time as well. I tried to find the original story but it was too long ago...I suspect it was simply one local council over reacting, although I do remember them saying that traces of mercury could be detected in pretty much all the soft furnishing such as curtains all through the house. It could be that far more mercury was actually spilled than the home owner actually admitted... I am fairly sure new mercury thermometers and barometers are now banned from sale to the general public here in the UK. That's probably fairly sensible given the alternatives that exist these days...
