Thank you so much, I will miss my techie family on here.. But, I will keep checking back in.:thumbsup:

thank you.

thanks Emil - whose identity is safe with me. :thief:

Retirement - In the main. I may look for 2 days a week in my local town - not in any sort of school whatsoever though!! But, not until I restore me to my former self and sort out the many issues going on with my terminally ill Dad.

have a look at this link. I do a ppt for it if you want to message me. https://edu.rsc.org/experiments/turning-copper-coins-into-silver-and-gold/839.article

the other way round - copper to gold

boiling copper pennies in zinc and NaOH, rinsing off the residue - this turns the pennies silver. Then put them into a 'Bunsen flame and they turn gold in colour! the kids love it.

gold coins. we do it for year 5 taster days every year and they love it. We also did it during lock down with the vulnerable / key worker's kids.

:D :D. So would I!!! Nah, i's in a Lancashire New town - lots of concrete. Not much sun.

if it is full of limescale, bungs some acid in it and then neutralise it, or rinse until it's neutral pH.

oh God, it sounds like a nightmare. I was in your shoes 17 years ago - i leave this Thursday. Tel them you need a few weeks grace to sort things out. you cannot work properly or safely with things like that. Ask them to stick to required practicals only once you have sorted the mess out. It's...

@Prince Brainier Aww what an amazing way to look at things. I am sure it will be of help.

whilst looking on Amazon I found this gift. It sums up what I hope that this is how it will be. Love and hugs to you all on the forum. I will miss you all for your friendship, advice and help.

our lot use that and stink the corridors out with it.:sick::sick::sick:

Well fox me!.. I thin you are quite right there @Jonesy I don't want to look a @rse and get the old heave ho after 17 years of almost perfect behaviour. Good job they could never read my mind!! i would have been foxed off years ago.

I used to have a stainless steal bar of "soap" - I bought it in Lakeland (other kitchen shops are available) it worked rather well

I believe that it's not a swear word in certain parts of the country, Scotland and some parts of "darn sarf" it's the same as twit. And there's a place in Scotland actually called tw@tt. different :D spelling. My friend is from Northern Ireland and they have a diving centre in Muff!!!

that's why I use a number for 5hit, and I would have written tw@t! and also the same for p1ss. never quite managed to pass the duck as anything that may slip through the net! 4 days left after today of my techie career.

Sending you the most massive hug in the world, sending a hanky for your tears, some gin or wine to cheer you up and some choc to make you feel good. loads of love from me.

Aww Thank you.
