Driving back from a site this morning, I passed a Sikh bloke walking down the street. He was wearing in a long ankle-length gown, probably in his 60's, big white beard, huge bright orange turban. Wouldn't look amiss in a street in the Punjab. But, and, wait for it, a thick strap around his neck on the end of which was a huge feck-off dagger in a sheath.

Er, do we have a law against the carrying offensive weapons in this country or does it just only apply to the rest of us? Is someone going to tell me that carrying these weapons is purely ceromonial and would never be used if push came to shove? Or can I now walk down the street with a big feck-off 3ft bowie knife in a sheath for "cerominial reasons" too?

Tried to but got banned. Fridge magnet in the shape of a fish is all I managed to create from 2 years of filing metal and drilling holes.

I think ninjas would have to argue that it was for professional (not cultural) purposes and they might struggle with that - also, not aware of many ninjas in the UK.
