Read this - seems just like the AWB idea here. They want to ban "long, pointy knives". Short pointy knives seem to be OK. 24% of their 16 YO kids carry knives, and violent crime is on the rise... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4581871.stm  This is America in years to come - Steve

And Dumplings... my sister in law supplied the dumplings at lunch the other day.... they could have been mistaken for rocks

If the British do this they can create the Ministry of Sharp Pointy Objects. This would go hand in hand with the Ministry of Silly Walks.

....and the one for 'Stupid Hats'.

It's nice to see there are people more ignorant than Americans......and it appears to be the British.
