An important EMAil I received!

I doubt it will be something they "enforce",
more likely something they will get you for if you get arrested and happen to have a knife,
or pulled over, etc...

They probably won't go looking for pocket knives,
but start passing out fines when they come across them.
Sad.... sad day

My pocket knife goes with me pretty much every time I step out the door! It has so many uses a man should not be without one!

probably has more to do with a little extra income for them...I bet your right.

it means for every arrest, they might be able to add a small fine and get more dosh...Expect them to errect more speed cameras if this is true...the more cameras the more likelyhood of catching a speeder, that little bit more money...charges for public parking, pay and display will probably go up aswell.

dont forget...your government is in the middle of a recession aswell.

just carry as usual but dont get caught...if you dont do something stupid, like get it out infront of an officer...or break the law whilst having it on your person...you've nowt to worry about

What do you have in your collection? You said you were having a "carboot" sale. Any knives up for sale or is that illegal? I have a small collection - probably 15-20 knives. I always have my eyes open for a nice knife.

I have a few knives...but I'm not selling them

I'm selling lots of DVDs, CDs, VHS....and a load of books my parents dont want. I'm selling a few items of...specialist....attire, a few pots and pans and cups and lamps and shyte like that. I'm trying to sell A large Tape taking Cam-corder, a digital photo frame, and a Mirror that doesnt belong to me.

I shall be selling my haunted Touch sensative lamp...cant wait to be rid of the thing. Its been sitting on top of my kitchen cupboards where I cant see it for just over four years now....damn thing had a nasty habit of turning itself on...it kept doing it at the same time each day...I got a Priest in to bless the house and I've never used the lamp since....yeah I know it kept switching itself on because of power fluctuations on the national grid...but...I used to come home and find the red light on...at first I thought I'd left it on.

So I used to unplug it. The last time, I'd just come home from my parents...I was absolutely certain I had unpluged that light...and I saw it switched on from the road. I'd only been in the house about a month and it freaked me out...I went back to my Father and told him I wasnt going home until he conducted some sort of ceremony on the property

I can laugh now...but it wasnt funny at the time
