Airlines went plastic years ago following 9/11. I think it's time we all handed in our knives and had plastic (sorry Mr Attenborough..)

Better to remove the problem than change what millions of people do in their own kitchens, knives are not the problem. Spot on. Taking cars off the road would stop millions of deaths but we wouldn't consider that either. Longer sentences all round and a return of the death penalty. Make the prisons harsher for serious criminals with anything other than basic rights having to be earned. |

We all know the answer to the problem but the whole of government are caught up in identity politics and not offending a possible voters.

If everybody follows Asda's example we should be safe...erm how are we going to cut our food up for eating????? The poster who suggested round instead of pointed knives seems a reasonable idea...although they can always be sharpened I do hope our young criminals do not switch to forks or spoons because if we have to ban those as well it will make eating very hard  |

You get six months in the nick in Scotland if you are found carrying a knife.

We didn't even have knives or any form of cutlery til the bronze age .
Won't be long before the human race is back in the bronze age . We are already importing a culture whos preference is to live as neanderthal man did . |

By:
That said , a total ban on knives or any form of cutting implement would hopefully see a reduction in FGM so maybe it's a win-win

Denisovan imo.

TBF some probably had never seen cutlery before.

Was they razed by wolfs?

I am of course referring to weegies.

Reynard, razors are used with FGM not knives so we could end up with beards like Mouse M

I'm sure Asda's next quartely report will show that they're doing just fine with the kitchen knives Dr

Like the man said Darren; ''don't call us we'll call you.''

Although, the use of a silly face at the end of your last post shows how your mind works and undermines everything you've posted.

By:
Maybe they will appoint official knife personnel who will come round and cut your food for you.

By:
It's not really about opinion it's about common sense, 1 item being removed from a store when they sell such a wide variety of products these days is not likely to take away custom, I don't even think it's worthwhile unless there was a concerted effort amongst all retailers to do the same, but no business will turn down the opportunity to be given publcity for their buisness for free especially on a national level.

emirates have metal knives |
|
By:
as do KLM, I suspect that the majority of airlines have returned to metal

On certain occasions I refuse a metal spoon.
Caviar loves cold and crystal, and hates metal. According to true caviar fiends, the best way to enjoy caviar is by spooning it out of a very cold crystal glass. But be careful, the spoon should be made from bone, horn or mother of pearl. Even plastic is fine – or, you could serve it like it’s served in the Emirates and use a 24 karat gold spoon. Anything is better than contaminating the delicate flavour of these black eggs with any kind of metallic taste. The most refined palates insist on mother-of-pearl, whose glimmering incandescent whiteness is an aesthetically pleasing contrast to the shiny black of the caviar. |

Morrisons won't let you buy more than two packs of Paracetamol, in case you want to self harm!
Must have saved countless lives! |

This Asda thing made the news loads yesterday, their marketing department must be overjoyed at the publicity. It's cynical and wrong of them to try capitalising on this.

By:
Didn't get as much publicity as when that bus driver plowed into Sainsbury's in Cov.
|
|
By:
This applies to all stores. Not just Morissons. Well Tesco don't support it, as I am regularly buying three packs, and three Ibuprofen, because of my fractured Femur! This, let me say, to comply with doctors advice! |
|
By:
That definitely shouldn't be allowed to happen by the guidelines but clearly there should be some sort of leeway allowed if you are able to provide proof.
There used to be all that outrage about how people would be getting Paracetamol on prescription, partly due to these limits I'd imagine. I think sometimes these people thought that it was being prescribed for a headache rather than people with chronic pain issues |

By:
Asda soon to announce that they have banned the sale of cigarettes and alcohol.

Not tahat I'm trying to argue.... but
Tesco Paracetamol Tablets 500Mg 16 Pack. By law, we're only permitted to sell you 2 of this item . Tesco Paracetamol Tablets 500Mg 16 Pack - Tesco Groceries https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/257107498 |

Apparently these measures have been very successful in villages with only one supermarket and only one idiot.

Saddo, that's like saying that guns aren't the problem in America. We know that guns ARE part of the problem because people argue, confront, disagree and fight the world over...but in America, people die. As cynical as you lot are, until you change attitudes, making changes little by little is the only way. So whether that's access to buying, stop and search, heavier penalties for being caught, it all counts. |

Aye, let's keep giving ground to our new savage cultures, as long as it's only little by little, mind.

No it's not, because guns are bought specifically for one purpose. Guns are not used as an item of cutlery. |

All them fecking "savages" probably coming over here to escape from the misery and poverty in their own countries:
Crime is rife as police almost non-existent now Schools - overcrowded and massively under resourced Rubbish rotting in the streets as only collected every 2 weeks if they are lucky - every 4 weeks if unlucky Medical Care - unless rich/going private - essentially advised - "we're really busy - can you come back when you are better?" Streetlights that go off when it is dark Roads like the 3rd world - looks like IED's have been deployed in the countryside. No job prospects for the young, etc, etc Leaving all this behind and coming to the UK - they're in for a nasty surprise when they get to Swindon imo. |
