This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

More science stuff
I too am a scientist, lab coat, pens poking out of top pocket, errant hairstyle et cetera. (quite a few of us on here isn't there).

In my youth we used to nick various reagents from the lab for the most mundane of purposes. For example- analytical grade petroleum ether for use in our Zippos. (Cost about 20p to light a fag).

Pure 100% analytical grade ethanol for drinking purposes (Dilute a lot with orange juice.)

Dry ice was robbed by the bucket load around the end of October, we had some great Halloween parties.

Cylinders of helium cos squeaking like a lemming is always funny no matter how of you hear it.

Any nitrate, oxidant, dangerous reagent to make our own fireworks. November was also a fun time- not many eyebrows, but fun.

The list goes on but I fear being identified and the reprisals
