The nanny state in action. What a waste of time and resources.
- viraptor 17y agoIt's even more crazy when something like that is a local policy... Try buying a large bread knife when you look <20 in UK -- maybe that's why noodles are so popular for students. Afaik noone forces that rule on the shops around here. I remember good old times when we were required to bring large scissors and could use a wallpaper knife on some practical lessons in the primary school. Unfortunately that's almost terrorism lesson by today's standards. At least I know I'll have to teach my kids to use those tools at home, so they can create/fix basic stuff without asking for a specialist...
