The military think it is a very dangerous object. There are around a
dozen
people killed every year by WW1 munitions dug up on the Western Front in
Northern France and Belgium and the sludge in those rusty canisters is 90
years old.


Really ? I'd love to see the source of info ? There was a TV
programme a few years ago which showed French farmers regularly
ploughing up all sorts of WW1 ordnance and selling the decent stuff.

No one seemed to think it was any threat !

Edward,

I should stop now.
You are coming over as something of an idiot with a death wish.

Just maybe you worry I might be right ? :-) Yes the authorities need to
be seen to be going through the usual headless chicken routine. But the
media love all this stuff and I honestly wonder if 2 guys with a crane
from the municipal dump could have dealt with it just as well and with
no disruption.

When was the last time one if these thing actually went off ?
