Carrying your knife to the boat

I remember when I was in my school cadet force. We all routinely slung our 303 rifles over our backs and took them home to clean them. There was no limit on how long we kept them at home, just that we had to have them with us next time we were on parade or exercises.

I knew a part time Territorial Army Officer, Late 1950's I was at his home one day and he opened the boot of his Vauxhall Cresta to reveal a Bren Gun. He did not even take it inside at night.
 
Its illegal to carry a knife in Singapore ... but I have an Official Signed and Stamped letter authorising me to carry 2 knives there ...

Basically I was leaving a ship I had just Inspected and had to pass through Control at the 'Cruise Ship Terminal' ....

On another thought about knives etc. Its daft that you cannot take a sharp object through airport security - but then you sit on the aircraft and they serve you meal - with metal cutlery.
 
I'm waiting for the police to turn up when I'm wandering the perimeter of my garden chopping ivy off the trees with a billhook.

I once joined a yacht for a race to Belgium. The race was to be started by the Duke of Edinburgh and police and security were crawling over the clubhouse for hours before. While waiting for the launch it started raining so I hopped inside. Major panic, not security cleared. They had to search my bag
"Allow allow what's this then?"
"It's a yachting knife, yachtsmen carry them". Took quite a bit of explaining. Meanwhile the sniffer dog was much more interested in the large pot of Chile in my other bag.

I'll swap seats, you travel steerage and I'll travel 1st Class - your shout. You need to learn how the plebs (who pay for tickets), like me, travel.

Seems you haven't travelled on example Lufthansa long haul ..... Finnair long haul .... as two examples of ECONOMY class with metal cutlery ...

I fly with many different airlines and I agree that majority supply plastic ... but there are some who particularly on long-haul do supply metal.

Oh by the way --- I may travel based on company paying - but its my company and eventually falls to my 'pocket'.

Anyware from Sydney is long haul :). With code sharing it might be coded as Finnair or Lufthansa but the reality is called Qantus and has a big red kangaroo on the tail fin.
