Yes BUT....she would have done that no matter where she purchased them from.Leslie Tiller tripped and fell on her own shears!
Does that mean you won’t be able to buy razor blades, over the Internet, you usually buy them in packs of a hundred, you know the old fashioned safety razor blades,
Might have to stock up, I am down to my last 1000, and I am currently charging through them at about 10 a year.

Looks like I'd better get some orders in for some bowl gouges for my woodturning* before they become a scarce and restricted commodity.

Apologies, I haven't read all of the thread due to just being on a break at work.
I bought a motorbike battery by mail order within the last month or so with a separate bottle of acid to fill myself. I don't know whether I should have been able to or not but it did seem at the time to be an easy way to get some acid without raising suspicion.
Just having that thought is a sad reflection of modern society.

So they charge the genuine people and the lowlifes will just get something else or get it from somewhere else

Oh this is all precisely why we need to stop having band aid solutions to the wrong issue .
Someone gets stabbed so we ban the sale of knives via mail order ! Err, the most often used knife in assults is the kitchen knife commonly bought at Tesco etc. Or if you are not old enough requisitioned from any kitchen drawer.
Only recently has the knife over taken the hammer in murders - yep correct !
Do we as a society ban screwdrivers? I know a few who have been attacked with screwdrivers .
What don't we get ? Knives are in every kitchen, screwdrivers must exist in most homes at least some place, hammers in every tool box .
Every year we see more laws and still higher rates of such crimes.. Is it maybe that we should divert our attention to proper enforcement (we have had the offensive weapons act for many decades ). The trick is to catch and then convict, once that's done we must issue punitive sentencing as a detergent but also persons who commit crimes cannot continue thier actions in public when sat in a 8x4 cell .
So what we must put up with is Mrs Jones not being able to order a new knife on amazon because her delinquent Delmond keeps pinching them for some protection when out peddling his drugs.
