Will Brexit lead to the abandonment of Crossrail2 and Turning South London Orange?

There is a mile of difference between unethical and harmful, especially when in normal use the item isn't harmful at all, it's only harmful if it's abused. Ivory hunting is harmful to elephants. I was referring to the mercury instrument (I thought that was bleeding obvious) The problem with mercury is that even if not "abused" (whatever that means) it has a tendency to get split, and when it does the tiny droplets run everywhere and are very difficult to clean up. thermometers are sealed units (I have no idea about barometers, but assume likewise) tim |
