Sheeple don't mind being shorn because they don't have the bullocks to fight back.

I understand that any knives now sold in england can only be butter knives because the other ones are pointy and we would not want anyone to get hurt.

Are shoe laces next?

tease the Pommy Basterds because in the VERY early 1980s, two of my best friends were Royal Marines. One was a Liverpudlian and the other a Cockney. Rocky (the Liverpudlian) died in the Falklands (not to be a buzzkill or anything). Met them during Mardi Gras the year before I went on active duty.

I never do, Des. I just feel for that girl. It was foolish of her, of course, to ignore the matter and not to prepare defence but she is not a crim. Should not the authorities focus more on serious offences instead of bullying normal people.

I prefer "Finders Keepers" as a philosophy with the exception of if the original/real owner is still amongst us and breathing.

I find it hard to except that "we" do not own our history, but the government does. BUT, I do understand the argument, that the "country" owns the history though, too. But would reserve that for truly unique, irreplaceable artifacts. Not single bits and pieces no matter what their value.

Like all laws when they are made, the British one is an adolescent, and after a few trial cases, it will gain some maturity, and become tweaked and improved, to everyone's benefit.

There are some countries with laws that only offer 25% of the value of the item, based on non-experts perceived value, and could take years, if ever, to get your share of the find, which is not very inducive to comply with any enthusiasm. The British laws kind of lands in the middle of USA and other European laws.

I believe that in England any used electrical appliance, that is sold second hand/collectible, must have the plug cut off so no one gets hurt.

I spent a week on R & R in Sydney in 1969 and learned that the quickest way to start a fight there is to call an Aussie a Limey. Hell, even the women will bow-up and want to kick your a--. I saw this one night in a night club when a troop called my date a limey (joking) and she stood up and called him out on it. He apologized after he figured out she wasn't joking.

There are currently no laws on the sale of knives in the UK, hopefully one soon

ANYHOO, getting back on topic; sort of lost some of it's original fizzle by now. But this girl was 23 when arrested, she found this thing 14 years ago which makes her 9 when she found it. We are expected to assume a 9 year old is going to go to coronor and claim this.
I don't know.

Could you please clean up one confusion I always had in regards to the word , "POME"?

I stayed in Australia for 6 months, traveled pretty much everywhere, but never could figure out why the Aussies called the English, "Pommies", when historically the Aussies are the Pommies.

P-O-M-E is the acronym for Prisoner Of Mother England.

I think they wanted to make an example, but, could have chosen a lot better situation, that didn't have so many holes in it and had more common sense. But the "crime" she is being prosecuted with is, not reporting it AFTER she was made well aware of her legal obligation. Remember, she was the one that instigated all the events that followed by trying to have the piece identified by a museum.

Listen up Ozzies! When my ship visited Perth in 1983, I can't begin to tell ya how many women were waiting at the docks. Literally CROWDS of 'em. Is that indicative of ALL Australia or just Western Australia?

My experiences were similar. From Queensland, and all around the coast to Perth, and up into Darwin. Loved Adelaide for many reasons. Met a lot of verbal bigots there though, but it may have been in the backpackers trail only, hopefully. It was good also for me to introduce myself as a Canadian, as opposed to being American, or you'd get an earful, but this was decades ago.

G'Day Bruce,

After consulting with all the Bruces and Shielas on Staff at the University of Wallamaloo, I have determined that the best version of the history of the term is that the Brits are light skinned and tend to burn to the color of Pomegranates under the Ozzie Sun.

And the acronym was actually Prisoners Of Her Majesty

I think a group of "women" in Australia is actually called a Flock

I don't report anything. As Sgt Shultz used to say "I know Nuthing"

technically you just gave your game away

 

[fmerg]

there are a few things that need to be addressed on this issue

1) the find was before the law took effect
2) she was told repeatedly to report it
3) the brits are always improving the laws when the law is abused
4) with any historical finds they are placed on display for all to see (remember a few months ago the Saxon find in england)
5) no law no matter how well written is perfect

how many good members of t-net in the usa give some sort of display to there local historical groups
so others can learn about the local history an see some of the stuff we find
