cooks, chefs, butchers, mums making the tea, barbeque-in-the-gardeners, farmers, campers, fishermen, hillwalkers, etc etc, beware.

Answers to your questions-: 1) Yes. 2) Mostly in England and Wales. 3) The bigger the knife, the bigger the sentence, or longer. 4) No. 5) I'll escort the thug, because I'm very community spirited, and we'll be going to a hospital anyway, so just let me know...
Tws from The Croft Lewis
I shall continue carrying my wee penknife just as I have always done. The trouble is any law has to be seen to apply to all to show equality, so Tws how can it apply to all but only mostly in England and Wales?
Paulo from Hawknee
i've always got my french tradtional knife in my handbags---a "laguiole" commes complete with a corkscrew very,very handy!!
carol --- from over here
In answer to Paulo from Hawknee, why only England and Wales? Because that is where these laws will apply, in England and Wales. A different law system exists in Scotland and N. Ireland. Does that answer your question? How helpful was this answer? a) very helpful. b) quite helpful. c) a wee bit helpful. d) not very helpful. e) utter garbage. or f) why bother....
Tws from A High Horse
Tws, cheers mate, I see what you mean now, err b) I think. I still feel that the crime is the use of the knife not the carrying therofe, and that was my laboured point.
Paulo from Hawknee
I quite like c) a wee bit helpful, as it chimes very nicely with Wee Jock McConnell's 'best wee country in the world' hyperbole...
Flying Cat from admiring Tws' succinctness
Only wimps carry knives: I chug along with a mace. But I do check it as extra luggage when I air-travel: it won't fit in the overhead storage bin.

A mace eh! mjc. Traditionally a bishop's weapon, they weren't supposed to cut people up for some reason. Do I detect ambition here?
Hyper-Borean from Back in the land of the living
Hi there Hyper-B.: most ingenious murders have been committed (not necessarily by Bishops, but I would not put it past some of them) using a mace. Hermit has one or two, and she is not known (isn't that so, HL?) for darkening the aisles of cathedrals or even Methodist and "low church" gathering places.

Hello Carol from IBHQ: another one disappeared. I waited a week but have given up hope.
mjc from NM,USA
Like mjc aI too have been consigned to the spam filter of eternity.A comment referring to G K Chesterton's Hammer of God was obviously interpreted as political satire, the poor filter being unable to separate Father Brown from PM Brown; Ho Hum!
