It's certainly random. But the law isn't. The length of blade, the way it opens, what it's stored with indicating it's purpose are all factors. On the farm I carry a much larger than allowed in public blade of well over 7.62cm but that's ok because it's deemed reasonable for the job. It has a purpose. However if I went to the supermarket with it in my overall pocket it's no longer legal cos it's not necessary to have a large knife at the supermarket. The very large supersharp kitchen knife I carry when travelling is stored with other kitchen equipment so that would also be seen as a reasonable use. Even a can of hairspray carried to damage another person is considered an offensive weapon. It's all about what's considered reasonable and necessary.

Being old is good for insurance up to a point but crime rates in the area your living have a massive impact on the price.

I've lost a knife to security and recently (just in the last month) a bloody corkscrew! I got a fabulous full body massage by one set of security in front of everyone this year focussing for what seemed like forever on my chest! Mr Slowly said after wow that was weird, I was gonna come over and intervene but then I realised it was a massive turn on so I left her to it! Twat

You did.

Yerp. Rule upon rule upon rule. Got to the point I didnt even look at the thread.

Hear fuckin hear! But Pete deals in click bait, it's his job so I wouldn't take any of that seriously. The knife being confiscated I'm sad for Pedro but at the same time you have to have some respect for the laws of the country you're visiting. We have had strict laws about offensive weapons for decades. He was lucky it wasn't the police, then it would have been a prosecution. The rules on the type of knife you can carry and for what purpose are clear. They tend to pick on people who don't look a threat to make an example of them in front of other travellers. I've now lost count of the number of searches I've been subjected to! Mr Slowly they won't touch with a barge pole! The poo, yep that wudda been dog poo. Human poo is done in places no normal person would go. Natural raw diets for dogs are extremely popular here and as a consequence shit just don't stink like it used to

I've not moaned, I've found it's transition from a well discussed, well entered, well engaged with topic dwindling to a tiny pool no-ones interested in very amusing. Just wanted a recap on how things got to where they are now.

Well the greedy fucks just shout "cost of living crisis" and put your price up. That seems to be how it works.

No feckin way?

Like most businesses a large portion of it is run online or over the phone. The physical solving of problems requires dispatching the right monkey who is happy to dance to the right tune. Sometimes that is me or Mr Slowly but most of the time anyone with half a brain will do. That's why I never know how long I'll be away for because any phone call can be that crisis you have to physically be there for

Hmm So how is Pedro now in charge of BOTM and why is Buckster not doing it? Did I miss something?

Excellent. Lets see BOTM through the eyes of six30 That would be funnier than watching BOTM dwindle to squeak under Bucksters rule

Cheeky fecker. You can travel and work at the same time. Just cos you sit in front of the same PC in the same chair declaring incapacity due to your wifes lack of mobility doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't know how to travel and work at the same time! Made it to the netherlands didnt you? Any clients fall off a cliff while you were away? Nope? Nuff said.

aah senor El Bow? But surely there's a vote I missed? Cos such a comedy topic should be handled with a light hand. A comedy hand. A six30 does his do on BOTM type hand? Now that I'd tune in for lol

Did I miss something? Is Pedro a prefect now? What happened to the ever tightening grip and increasing rules imposed by Buckster? I was looking forward to that reaching it's natural conclusion of only one or two entries a month until BOTM's demise

Read that but it's was a waste of time cos it's not needed wot with it being built like a gun

Not sure where your going with this analogy boomer boy but it's sounding pretty creaky

Looking for crap to download for the next trip. Recommended is - Broadchurch The Night Manager I hate Suzie Outlander Anyone watched any of these?

Copy and paste from the thumbnail in preview and you'll bypass the forums wanky upload settings completely. Works everytime.

I thought that too Lots of genuinely smiley uncontrived photos with two people who look like they really appreciate the green nature and wildlife of the UK.

Of course being the lovely person I am I've bought him a load of food he likes, booked lovely accommodation, planned the routes making sure he passes supermarkets and also arranged a grocery delivery when he arrives. He's living the dream!

He's free to do whatever the feck he likes and he does!
