At the risk of it looking like my blog is turning into a "Bash the UK" haven (and with apologies to those I know who are from there), I've found the ban that possibly tops "samurai swords" for absolute lunacy.
If you're under 18, the Norfolk Constabulary thinks you should be banned from buying ketchup or eggs. There's been a rash of prank vandalism with squirt bottle ketchup and eggs, see. And a few bad... er... tomatoes... are enough to spoil them all.
Because there's absolutely no legitimate reason for anyone under the age of 18 to be in possession of tomatoes or eggs.
And there's no other substance an unruly teenager could possibly use to vandalize property with.

You've gotta be kidding.
I truly hope that we find a point someday where we stop pussifying our children and trying to protect everyone from everything - and encourage people to grow a damned spine.
Or quite simply, our respective countries will get their asses handed to them by the first army to arrive on the beach head with a sharp stick and a stern voice.
Well, it certainly can't be a lack of parenting. You wouldn't want to deal with the true cause, just the symptoms.
