This really deserves a thread of its own!

Listen to these guys!

I learned about molten sulphur embers in the eye while goose-shooting with BP under flight-paths....
Firing vertically up without eye protection!
Can't believe I did that! How the hell did they get away with it in Edwardian times? No shooting glasses visible in "The Big Shots"!
I now have a scarred cornea, by great good fortune off to one side but I could easily have suffered impaired vision had it centred over the pupil!

Apologies for the thread-hijack, now back to the marvellous Manton....
