Oh, I just remembered something I wanted to ask about. Is "perspex" just a British term for plastic, or are the two somewhat overlapping but not quite congruent concepts?

It's a tradename for polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) plastic, also known as acrylic or Plexiglass.
I tried to make Christmas presents out of it one year and failed miserably. I've still got the chunk I pried out of the bottom of the beaker three weeks after the solvent had evaporated. There's a notch in it where the magnetic stir bar was. I've got another irregular chunk with bits of wax paper in it where I couldn't pry them out of the folds. FYI, wax paper makes a terrible mould. /the more you know

Aw man, you had to get that stupid "The More You Know" ringtone stuck in my head, didn't you?
Plexiglass, okay.

Only when we break our ankles. Which I haven't by the way.

I had forgotten that it's only Gallifrey that makes *everything* out of perspex.

Whoa. Well, that's what happens when you give plausable chemical names to fictional materials. At least dilithium's "systematic name" of 2(5)6 dilithium 2(
 l diallosilicate 1:9:1 heptoferranide is impossible to actually achieve (I think).

That systematic name doesn't conform to any system I know of.

I suppose that was the point. To make it impossible to create a conflict.
