Ok, can someone please clear something up for me?
Today, I was sent to B&Q to get a screwdriver set and a heavy duty wallpaper scraper for work (I'm helping with another Currys branch's refit)
Everything's all fine and dandy and while I was there I thought I'd get some replacement blades for my stanley knife, until I got to the checkout, at which point the jobsworth bint behind the counter asked if I was 21. I said no, assuming it was something to do with Challenge 21 so I got my ID out showing that I'm over 18. At this point she then said that I had to be 21 to buy the wallpaper scraper ^o)
I raised the proverbial eyebrow at her and was about to demand to speak to the duty manager for an explanation, when she scanned the screwdrivers which were fine, and my stanley knife blades, which I didn't get challenged for!
WTF!
So, lets get this straight - my stanley knife and my screwdrivers aren't dangerous, but the wallpaper scraper is LETHAL
So what I'm getting at is, what's the legal stance on buying wallpaper scrapers? How old do you have to be to decorate your walls?
At 18, you can get stoned in Amsterdam, pickle your liver legally, watch dodgy...
dodgy... hardcore pr0n, but you can't buy a wallpaper scraper
