Another anti-diy law

Sorry but there's not many wild rabbits in Hackney, you'r ebeing lied to ;-)

I'd find it a bit suscpicious if an sub 18 year-old had a carry bag full of oven cleaner. I doubt many 18 year-olds know what an oven is. You should see the queues in the takaways when school chucks out.

Not had that problem, but most of the stuff I order that actually comes from Amazon, rather than from a company selling through them, seems to come from Spain.

I never saw the point of Prime, given that most stuff arrives within a few days.

I am writing about direct from Amazon but by way of their French distribution.

I've found that in the past few months 'free' delivery is a week or more with Amazon. On the Amazon market place the same traders use Ebay where they sell for a lower price and with a faster delivery.

At that age, I was firing Sterling sub machine guns...

So they'll just use a flammable liquid and a lighter instead of acid.

Could someone even be arrested for carrying a can a lighter fuel when they can argue that it is to refill the lighter that they're also carrying?

First time I fired a full bore rifle I was so small the recoil was moving me about. I had to crawl back up to the point every few shots. So much for keeping point of aim...

A few years later when I'd got heavier I could handle it. I was never good enough for the team, but not far off.

I dare say these days I couldn't see both sights and target at the same time :(

A friend in America points out that it makes a big difference there, due to the much greater distances 'stuff' has to be delivered over.

ah - you did National Serviece?

I was rifle shooting at the age of 12.

[Bob Eager]

No, Royal Marine Cadets. I don't think National service started at 15.

I wouldn't have thought so and what about a none smoker carrying such a thing shcok horror. Well I've carried a few in my time for my butane gas soldering iron. I think it's reasonable easy detecting whether someone aims to do harm to another or is using the product as intended, although those with rather low IQs might have problems or easily fooled.
