    If you're searched and found with a rolling pin you can be arrested, too. It's not the nature of the object, but what you intend to do with it, that counts.

    Damn. I was trying to reply to this.

    To be honest, I think it's reasonable to limit children's access to explosives.

    Obviously knives aren't being banned - chefs would get a little upset. Carrying an "offensive weapon" [which can be pretty much anything if the police know how to frame a leading question] has been against the law since the year dot, and has never stopped me carrying a pen-knife.

    As for smoking, it's being banned in public places [except pubs that don't serve food], which again sounds reasonable to me.

    I'm much more worried about ID cards, the continuing assault on jury trials etc. myself.

    Basically if I had the money, I would start a gym, a club, a bar, a restaurant, a stripe club...
    Ooh, a stripe club. Sounds ... interesting.

    Do you expect to get paid for a days work?

    Sure. Once.

    I don't expect to get paid again, every day, for the rest of my life, for that day's work. Especially if it's not me that did the work, but some sucker who signed a record contract in my office.
