'Age restrictions apply to this product'By Lester Haine

We're delighted to report this morning that supermarket monolith Tesco - famous for its cut-price Xbox 360 offer - is doing its bit to combat the degeneration of Blighty into a lawless land a la Democratic Republic of Congo in which rival bands of jenkem-crazed hoodies battle each other in the smouldering ruins of UK society.

Yes kids, let's make no mistake, if you're thinking of kicking off a rumble using cutlery, you won't be getting your 16-piece offensive weapon set from Tesco:

The above proscription is confirmed by a quick search for tableware, although chillingly there is nothing whatsoever to prevent hood rats from buying a "Tesco Wood Placemat & Coaster Set 8 Pack" with which to club decorated war veterans, making off with their pensions and spunking the lot on alcopops and gangsta ringtones.

keep up the great posts. lest we be tempted to believe this is how the world is supposed to be, it's good to be reminded daily that instead, it has gone nuts!

So as well as needing to take ID with me when buying alcohol to prove that I am over 18, I now have to take it with me when buying a new set of cutlery!!!!!!

:emot-highfive: :emot-highfive:

Unbelievable!!!!!

AHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

THAT IS SOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!

Here in the U.S...there are several ballparks that won't give you a straw with your drink anymore, because it's considered a weapon.

The drink straw as a weapon? Have you tried those hotdog's? No those are weapons (but I do love to eat them).

That's only if you have dried peas so that you can use it as a pea shooter. Maybe they should search everyone for a bag of dried peas.

Oh, but then I suppose you could use it to poke someone's eye out.

It's entirely your own fault for allowing such an offensive and dangerous weapon to fall into the hands of someone so young. Nip it in the bud right now. By the time she graduates to packin' a tin-opener, it's already too late.

I've no sympathy.

None whatsoever.
