Sir – I have noticed in the Cornmarket, on Saturdays, there is a stall where a woman brandishes an axe and offers to carve wooden spoons for passers-by.

I am not quite sure how health and safety haven’t picked up on this, as it doesn’t look the safest way to carve a wooden spoon, nor the most secure way to have a weapon on show in a public space.
