Re: Ban on knives being delivered to shoppers' doors proposed by UK Government
It is illegal to sell a blade longer than 7.62cm to anyone under 18? How long is a butter knife?
I suppose this is all "perfectly reasonable", after all, why would anyone need a weapon to slice bread?

Re: Ban on knives being delivered to shoppers' doors proposed by UK Government
the irony of the measurement didn't escape me :)
I wonder how they settled on three inches as being somehow too dangerous for a person under 18 to handle? Are British people not allowed to let their kids help out in the kitchen or the garden?
How to farmers bring up their children - with a farming simulator?

What about scissors then? Don't all children have those in their pencil cases?

You laugh. The UK is stuffed.
My wife was in Tesco 2 years ago and wanted to make a lemon cake.
She was not allowed to buy more than two lemons at a time. The reason, three could be used to blind people.... I kid you not!
She laughed, bought two that morning and went back an hour later for the other one.... yeah.. I know, she lives dangerously.Israeli Carry is for dead people

Re: Ban on knives being delivered to shoppers' doors proposed by UK Government
People do carry knives if they need to work with them. People carry Leatherman multitools etc. Hauling it out on a bus may cause a bit of hysteria I admit - people are funny like that. But it's not all crazy, farmers use knives, go hunting, skin stuff etc. Certainly not like in SA. But yes, the laws are a but puzzling.
