Today it was pre announced that the small metal n20 (nitrous oxide) canisters will be banned and possession will become a criminal offence.


This is supposed to stop young people using it as a recreational drug however it will cause issues for anyone who owns a cream whipper or professional chefs.


Are the government using a sledge hammer to crack a nut and if n20 possession is made illegal what happens to people who have it in a draw for making whipped cream.


In fact with no real alternatives on offer does it make thousands of cream whippers* up and down the country obsolete ?


Is there a better way of controlling it to stop misuse?


* cream whippers is not a euphemism for some shady activity 🙄

This might just be the two of us. I was thinking of posting under the imaginative title no laughing matter.


Total overreaction and sadly Labour are supporting this. Not sure why they didn't listen to the government advisory committee:

The response is thank you advisory committee but no thank you

Do something useful and curb your mates in the tobacco industry selling vapes to school kids, or something substantial on online betting - noting of course for balance that it was Blair who opened this Pandora's box. Or maybe even the legitimate highs of sugar in our diet......

It's all fun and games till it ends in tears


There does need to be more focus on online / in person gambling and vaping but n20 abuse is a low hanging fruit target.


Wonder how the possession point will pan out, will granny get sent to jail for having a couple of canisters at the back of a draw ?


Will Chefs be the go to person ?


Will tips be full of cream whippers discarded after they have spent their last load?


Its just not a practical law to enforce and I bet online retailers are doing a roaring trade at the moment to satisfy peoples future demands for whipping.

Nextdoor has been infiltrated by the government publicizing their red meat policies on anti-social behaviour. And you are not allowed to comment on the official announcement. They will be getting hippy's hair cut in the streets next (as in the book/film Centigrade 234. Well I suppose it suits Nextdoor as most posts are reactionary on it about dodgy goings on and dodgy people. It makes the EDF seem a hotbed of progressive thinking.


Well at least the Libdems, as pointless as they are, have spoken out unlike Labour kowtowing

    • Sephiroth, meaning of. "There was one SOLDIER named Sephiroth, who was better than the rest, but when he found out about the terrible experiments that made him, he began to hate Shinra. And then, over time, he began to hate everything." "Ha, ha, ha... my sadness? What do I have to be sad about? I am the chosen one. I have been chosen to be the leader of this Planet. I have orders to take this planet back from you stupid people for the Cetra. What am I supposed to be sad about?"
    • We went there yesterday for lunch, which was really delicious and excellent value. A starter plus a main is £11.95 for their "lunchtime special". Just a main is £8.95. We had excellent gyozas to start, then I had pad thai and my partner had a stir fry, both with tofu. They were large helpings,  freshly cooked, with fresh veg. There is the option to have chicken or beef (prawns are £2 extra) Also they now have Thai beer (Singha) on draught or in bottles (previously it was being your own alcohol). The service was also good. We were sorry and surprised not to see more people in there, particularly as there was a match on. It is really worth the short walk from Lordship Lane!
