Thank you very much!  I was wracking my poor brain trying to pull the 
original short story information, didn't manage it so I cited the TV 
reference.  

Meanwhile, back at the pointy knives... that's crap and the British 
Government knows it, according to that article.  They seem to consider 
that the existing laws already cover the situation.  On the other hand, 
can't you see bands of roving teens, wearing cook's whites in order to 
justify their long knives?
