I noticed in my local TA that the fresh onions have some small red and green bits in them,I also noticed this in the video in this post (Unlocking the taste to indian takeaway from h4ppyleader),what is it and why

I really couldn't help you out on this one but upon microwaving some chopped onions a while ago I noticed sparks coming from them. 
A google search suggested it was the Iron in them throwing a strop. 
I am looking forward to the answers to your question Ligs.

Hi ligs, probably finely chopped pieces of red and green peppers,just adds a bit of extra flavour.

thanks for the reply tommy, but I cant stop laughing honesty ;D sparks coming from your onions where did you get them from! ;D ;D ;D

Yeah, now you'd probably be expecting me to say some thing like "Near down't pit" but it was "Icelands"...  Honestly, I kid you not! A strange phenomenon... A bit like looking at the Aurora Borealis in your own little microwave universe... Far out man!

I'm going to try it right now : I love fireworks
P.S. Do you think the sparks might be caused by bits of horseshoe ?

No, really depressing : not a single solitary spark, even viewed in a darkened room.
Now trying for five minutes, to see if it happens when they reach cremation temperature ...
