Weapons in general

What is it with teenage boys who grow up in the valleys and weapons? All my friends had stacks of stuff that got them into all kinds of trouble. There were long bows, cross bows (which you can’t buy now until you’re 18, drat it), ninja stars, knuckledusters, replica handguns, knives of all shapes and sizes and air rifles in abundance. One of my friends had so many different weapons that he painted his bedroom black and decorated it with his mini arsenal. Another of my friends was asked if she wanted to buy a hand grenade one day when she was sat in class in college (see it aint just the guys you know). The Army & Navy stores in the valleys were doing better trade than Marks and Spencer’s back in the late eighties.
