Court and Support
I assume it is fairly common knowledge that I am appearing in court next week, charged with Assault and Possession of a deadly Weapon. Yep, me. Little old Andy. Grandad, parent, prospective councillor, gentle person, who has never had a fight in his life. Everyone I have spoken to has ridiculed the whole idea, but there it is. I am caught up in this Kafkaesque system. For blowing a whistle at a child who randomly kicked me (at Cropredy Festival), and for having my boatknife on my belt (everyone who has a boat has a knife like that. It was habitual for me). This has been the month of hell. Thank you all who expressed support, humorous or serious. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Add me to the ridiculers. Unbelievabe.
(Btw, you forgot to mention the Tongue of Doom.)
Good luck, matey. The stupidity of this will out.
For blowing a whistle at an unruly kid? Really? Good grief!
And what is this special boatknife for?
David didn't have one and if he'd known that it was a 'must have', he'd have been sure to get one.
Anyway, best of luck.
If it isn't thrown out of court, the magistrate will surely be a laughing stock.
