When they don’t apply the law people moan. Hmmm Correct, they manage to fuck it up at both ends of the spectrum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me saying, your input so far hasn't been particularly reassuring I’m grateful for the feedback. TBH I wasn’t trying to be. It is a complicated bit of law, and on face value it doesn’t make a huge amount of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 21 hours ago, Derek Flint said: Bit of perspective. PAVA is a prohibited weapon under s.17b of the 1947 Firearms Act. Section 5 in the UK. It is innthe same category as a machine gun. He has got off lightly, On the Isle of Man Section 17(1) of the 1947 Firearms Act states that: Quote It shall not be lawful for any person without the authority of the Department or the Secretary of State to manufacture, sell, transfer, purchase, acquire, or have in his possession — [...] (b) any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing Section 5(1)(b) of the UK 1968 Firearms Act is the same: Quote any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing The problem here is how you define noxious - practically any household cleaning product might qualify.

Sorry to go off topic a bit, but when Cannell'ds bakery was still going - top of Broadway - there was one of the bakers was up in court for farting. There was a bit more to it than that, I think it was something like one of the women felt she had been bullied and dismissed and a list of all she had to put up with was listed. Anyway, the farting made the headline. And Cannell's bakery food never did taste quite the same after that. It closed soon after (1998?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to drive in from Union Mills most days to collect lunch for us hairy arsed truckers. Nothing these days comes close. Ramsey Bakery beef pies, when cooked and the meat is brown, are superb. But nothing like Cain’s. I think I said Cannells before, bu5 meant Cain’s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
