I assume also that the Flashing LED is capable of tolerating 12V as there is no dropper resistor (some are only rated to 9V max so worth double checking)

12v across an old type LED, wait for it to turn purple, and if you're really lucky, you can blow the end of it off. Apparently

Better not let Tonygnome see this or he'll be "experimenting" again.

I won't mention how we used to cook sausages with 2 nails and a 13 amp plug, then.

I've told him how to light up a blown bulb and how to get a crack out of a cap but I don't think he's tried it yet.
