Hi,

You could try leaving them exposed to sunlight for a long period of time - not a very reliable way of erasing them completely though... And as you're in the UK, it's probably raining anyway! :-)

Sounds like you need a UV EPROM eraser - either buy one (http://www.qsl.net/iz7ath/web/02_brew/15_lab/05_canc/english/pag01_eng.htm), buy a kit (http://www.magenta2000.co.uk/kits/790.htm), or (if you've got deep pockets) buy one pre-built (http://www.lawtronics.co.uk/eprom.html). Failing that, there are plenty on the UK eBay (http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=eprom+eraser) at cheap prices...
