An interesting article. I came across an interesting entry once in the records from a local lunatic asylum. The entry dated back to late Victorian times and mentioned a patient who had been admitted suffering from the effects of inhalation of fumes at their work place. One wonders what on earth they had been working with ;-))

That was interesting Helen, thanks for sharing. We've just had a Health & Safety check at work and they list Tippex as one of our biggest hazards, how times change eh?
