    All right then, in which bin should I put that unexploded Luftwaffe 500-pounder, then?

    Very near my house, a few years ago, someone uncovered one of those in a brownfield site that was being redeveloped, leading to some specialists evacuating the neighbourhood and doing a controlled demolition that rattled my windows and could be heard a couple of miles away.

    The odd mortar round in Newton Scabbott is small potatoes compared to that.
