Lethal Weapons

Tonight, I bought some lethal weapons, or so Tesco said. I was checking out at Tesco, minding my own business, and when I reached the end, a message came up that said I had to have age verification for something that I had bought. I assumed that it was the aspirin that I bought, as a warning had come up when I scanned it, saying that I was only allowed to buy two (I only had one, so I didn't think much of it). It turns out that, rather than the aspirin, the problem was a pack of plastic forks, knives, and spoons, specifically the knives. Apparently, those flimsy little plastic knives can't be bought by anyone under the age of eighteen. I happened to have some ID on me, so it wasn't a problem, but it is a wee bit ridiculous to require someone to be 18 to purchase a pack of plastic flatware!
