Boiled fish
My parents had a huge fish tank in the living room before I was born. They had loads of expensive tropical fish in it. My dad decided the tank needed a good scrub, and new gravel, and a new diver or whatever, and transferred the fish into a bucket. They were cheerful enough - but 'oh no', he thought, 'I mustn't let them get cold!' So he then put the heater thing for the fuck-off-massive tank into the tiny little bucket and set about the long-ish task of cleaning out the tank.... oops.

I assume the real trip got cancelled...
In 1985 my nursery school's end-of-term trip was to a teacher's house to have an indoor picnic in her living room!

We had to be really quiet the whole time because her husband worked nights and was in bed upstairs!
