Yep.  So then knives are banned.  So then they switch to cars and just running over people.  So next you can ban those...

Axes, tire irons, baseball bats, brass knuckles, slingshots, box cutters, razor blades, rocks, ballpoint pens, hands....  so many wonderful things to be banned!  Eventually it will just be war with pudding.

If they start with the blood pudding I'm out.

Oh, you could choke someone with a T-shirt, especially a wet one, so those should be banned too...

Knives are heavily regulated and <sorta'> banned in the UK. I only know this because straight razors (shaving razors) are generally 3 1/2" long and the limit on at least some knife regulations kicks in at 3" long. In buying or selling straights going to or coming from the UK, it is always a risk that the someone official on the UK side will discover what it is and it is never seen again.

From an American point of view, this sucks because we are generally trying to buy old razors, and quite a few of them are prized and somewhat valuable.

The odd thing about it is that a straight razor has not ever been used in any crime that I know of and would make a truly terrible weapon; a straight unlikely to do great damage 'cause it will just pivot back, is as likely to damage the holder as the intended victim, and cannot be used for any type of plunge cut no matter what. Then again, I guess if they were accepted, they would instantly be the weapon of choice and one- thousand ways would be found to alter them and make then useful as a weapon.

How could it not be civil? We have Mike participating here and he is a Brit., drinking his tea with a saucer, the saucer sitting on a doily.... all the while his little finger poking out. Probably just came back from the store after buying some Grey Poupon mustard.

tea should be drunk from an oily mug, milk in first (so it forms an emulsion rather than a mixture) and with enough sugar so that your spoon stands upright

Well maybe, but c'mon and 'fess up: you are pouring it out of Grandma's ornate teapot that is wearing a cozy, right?

Bthcha' you did not think a colonist even know what a cozy was..... we do not have any but a couple of us know what they are. :-)

is that the same thing as a cosy ?

Cozy is a first name as in " Cozy Powell"   (ok technically a nick name but hey ho)

Arrrrg!  You British and your lack of "z"'s! 

don't blame us because you took the u out of colour etc

Quite!

That is exactly how I take my tea! Well, almost....

1) pour coffee into mug
2) put sugar and either 'Half 'n Half' (product that is 1/2 milk, 1/2 heavy cream) in coffee.
3) stir with spoon.

See? Identical.... except for the boiling water, milk, and tea bag.
