Just a quick reminder to check out NSC's Amazon link for all your lethal weapon purchases.

Cheers.
Is this the best place in Sussex to get them or is someone starting a new thread on that?

You sound as if walking around with a flick knife is normal - it isn’t …
It isn't entirely abnormal to carry a knife, or restricted to violent people who want to use it on someone, is all I am saying.

As it happens I've got a knife in my work bag right now...

...I'm fairly sure I've not used it in the last 10 years or more, though..

School trips, I wish, I was never aloud to go, I was banned from all school trips, after an incident at West Stow involving spray paint and a pig from the farm.
Not surprised if you spelt it **** instead of runt

Not at all I carry my prized Swiss Army knife everywhere I go apart from football of course, very handy tool. Toothpick, tweezers, scissors, small saw, obviously blades which I keep sharp.

Butterfly knives, flick knives and knuckledusters all banned in 1959 due to the increased use by youth cultures predominately the Teddy boys.

I have several hunting knives, which were given to me as presents at Christmas whilst in America, I put them in my normal luggage and they managed to get through, I did not hide them, they are hidden safely away at home, along with until recently some bear mace, I got sent in the post from America, it's like a mini fire extinguisher !!

I sold it on a stall at Patchfest for £2
Butterfly knives (aka balisongs) were outlawed to buy/sell/carry sometime around 1990.

I always have a penknife in my pocket, usually a Swiss army knife but I have several others (all perfectly legal)

Brighton factually.....
Butterfly knives (aka balisongs) were outlawed to buy/sell/carry sometime around 1990.
the balisong has been legally classified as an offensive weapon since January 1989.
Carrying one in public is an offence under the Prevention of Crime Act 1953.

were both wrong (y)

Remember peeps, in the good ol' US of A it is against the law NOT to carry at least one of these to school. Target practice on your classmates is an optional extra.

On the mandatory day trip to Dieppe in 1982 I bought some bangers. The teachers called us in for searching and mine were found in my Apple pie box.

The teacher told me it was a sin unbecoming of me and I had let myself down. I can't remember ever feeling so ashamed.

All mechanised lock blades are prohibited.

Like knuckle dusters, you cannot own or carry them under any circumstance.

I’m sure I’ve got a couple in a drawer somewhere from school day trips to Calais.

We used to buy music cassettes dirt cheap as well. They seemed to have loads of stuff that wasn’t available in England.

My brother went on a school trip to Dieppe in 1979. He was aged 10 and one highlight was buying beer in the local market. His teacher caught up with him and 'confiscated' the tins.

You can carry a locking knife (or fixed blade) if you are carrying it "with good reason". It might be that you are going to your allotment, going fishing or going diving or you may be a tradesman going to work.
You can have locking knives at home.
