G'day GUEST,guest,

I seem to remember reading, in article that also said the most common weapon of assauly in UK was a broken beer glass, that glasses of tempered glass, which shatters, rather than breaks into a fighting edge, were standard in the rest of Europe ... but the Poms don't make them - so the manufactures have managed to keep them out.

(I admit that I don't understand how they could actually do that ... given EU rules on intra-EU trading ... perhaps they are able to exert enough leverage on the pubs to keep out "French" tempered glasses.)

Regards,

Bob
