I took a sackful of them to our local recycling center, caused a few raised eyebrows until I explained what they were.Jeff wrote:Last saturday afternoon while in the cabin talking to workers at my local council amenity site a police officer turned up at the door asking where to put it, holding in his hand a green sphere remarking "you'll never know the trouble this has caused!" A local supermarket was closed off all morning after finding one....
On finding it the surrounding area was cleared, taking full precautions the police took a picture of the sphere and emailed it the the bomb disposal unit in hereford who after some time said it could be chucked in the local tip but the police officer still did not know what it was.....a brief explanation followed of the beauty of Citroën suspensions....police officer not impressed so told him Bentley's have them too...seemed a bit more interested but I dont think he'd had his lunch...

Our XM spheres have always lasted 60K+
