Help...need something identified!

[emmorticia]

Hi all...newbie here!

We're busy digging up our garden to lay a lawn, and I keep coming across a load of pink sticky stuff, and I'm not sure what it is. There's a load of bricks down there too, so I don't know if it's something to do with these?

Hopefully one of you guys can help....thanks in advance!

load of pink sticky stuff, and I'm not sure what it is.

chewing gum, grip fill, funny blue stuff gone off (the funny blue stuff goes pink when it goes off)

a picture would really help

if it looks like a load of builders rubble, then it could well be old plaster

It's not that lovely pink custard we used to have a school is it?
Could it be the stuff dumped by ICI just after Bostik patented Blue Tack?
Toxic waste?
A vapourised alien?
Remains from a Hubba Bubba party?

the grave of mr blobby?

would that not be pink with yellow spots?

Heh...much as I wish it was Mr Blobby, I can't find the yellow bits! It's surrounded by old tiles and bricks, so I guess it could well be plaster. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything dangerous before I disturbed it much more...
