Knife Ban.

[weald-audio]

Our wonderful Governments ban on bladed items,is causing major inconvienience.

I just tried to purchase some blades for my airsaw.

Apparently as a UK subject,I cannot be trusted to own these,unless I can prove im over 18.

Ebay supply a link to upload CC details to prove my age.

However one problem.I dont own a CC.

Therefore,at 60 years of age,Im unable to restock my workshop.Terrific.

Unable to restock your workshop from eBay.

other sites may or may not require age verification to the purchase of air saws, or certainly won’t require verification via credit card (which is all eBay accept)

Not entirely the Govts. fault this time..... 

Certainly the govt don't want underage nutters to buy knives/swords/axes etc. off the internet.

But Ebay and it's wonderful A.I. systems have taken the whole biz a bit too far.

Anything that *sounds* as though there's a blade involved, *looks* vaguely like a blade or is even just *associated* with other items that have blades (like a set of cake-forks etc...) ; well, they're all verboten as well.

Other websites probably have less ridiculously stupid A.I., so try them. Failing that , try a proper old-fashioned bricks-and-mortar tool shop!
