It is scary Lettie, I agree. I know of one instance of a child taking a knife to school (primary school) a couple of years ago.

I remember having a penknife as a child but I used it to carve the middle out of a swede at Hallowe'en ............. and a tiring process that was, made your hand ache. It would never have occurred to me to use it as a weapaoan against anyone else.

A friend of mine (boy) spent many hours "sittin' wit'lin" as he called it.

I worry about the way things seem to be going these days and wish someone who thinks they have the solution could advise us what to do.
