I was watching the Prime Minister Question Time the other day, & member of Parliament was asking the PM when was he going to do something about the problem of violence from blades - evidently there are more deaths in the UK from blades than from guns, the member said. He didn't say sword deaths, but nontheless, it doesn't surprise me they will ban them at some point. 5 pounds it'll be baseball bats next....
Well John ...since you mention it....with our world famous reputation as a great baseball playing nation to protect ....I wonder if there are any stats available to indicate how many baseball bats sold in the UK are purchased for baseball? I'll match your fiver with one of my own to guess its less than 20 percent

Cheers
