was reading another forum and came across this!!!

Sounds like you had a fun but frustrating time. I know what you guys mean about IB4200's blowing up, I bought 2 pacs off ebay a month or two back and the guy must'ne packed them badly because one of them exploded in my local sorting office. The high street got closed and the bomb squad were called because they thought someone had sent me a letter bomb or something!

and a news article below:o

I could quite easily see this being the end of IB4200's in this country if the police catch wind of them exploding left, right and centre a race meetings.

Hey Grant,
Fame! Don't sell out to Hello magazine just yet, hold out for the right offer ;)

Hope you have had words with the sender about good packaging vs bad packaging?
