Corrosives
I see that it has now been proposed in the U k that if you are caught carrying a corrosive substance twice within 6 months there will be a mandatory prison sentence !!I can imagine all the furtive looks as people come out of the supermarket with their bottles of Bleach and toilet cleaner in plain paper wrapping.
The quick dash for the car, fumbling with the Boot lock, then the sigh of relief when its safely hidden away, only to have to face the security check at the car park exit.

Re: Corrosives
The trouble is, it must be difficult for police to determine who the offenders are. There's old Mrs Biggins with her bottle of Brobat walking out of Tesco's, who insists it's for cleaning her toilet, then there's a gang of masked yobs with funny accents that claim the same. How could they possibly tell who is genuine? Best to arrest the lot of 'em I say.

Re: Corrosives
Don't think they are talking about the sort of drain cleaners you can buy in the supermarket.The dangerous ones that you get in the hardware stores and are marked "for professional use only" are the ones they are talking about and if you are not a plumber you should not have it.

Once again, it's the many that suffer for the few.

Re: Corrosives
exactly, so you get stopped, explain what its for , but I bet your name goes on a list of people to check up on. I would have thought that bleach was not the best thing to get in your eyes.i would imagine that at some point the products that are banned will be listed and also to buy you will have to provide your details , so i dont think that the ladies here will have to have their bleach in a plain brown bag
