Most people (if they want) can make a curved end knife - which can be lethal enough on its own - into a pointed blade.


I'm still positive about the petition though - well done.


I carried a knife when I was younger, and even used it once. I was also injured in a knife fight. Knives are very useful indeed but they are horrid for many...

Cutting onions properly needs a pointy knife. Cutting squishy tomatoes. Cutting pastry. Stabbing the top of those film covered trays for microwaves. Opening a bag of frozen peas. Loads of things.


What tiny, weeny percentage of knives are used in a bad way?? And if we did ban them, how quickly before they found something else to attack each other with, making the whole exercise entirely - and rather ironically - pointless.

Poor Damilola Taylor was killed with a broken bottle, if people want to commit violence they'll find something to do it with. Education and intervention are the key, taking the points off knives I don't think would make a jot of difference (and as Loz points out, there are myriad kitchen tasks that require a pointed knife).

    • Another happy customer. Would recommend Lucasz. Good quality work and reasonable rate
    • osted 26 minutes ago   "Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead."   Perhaps they've died through lack of rain whereas dandelion roots go further down and can reach water?
    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends.
