It seems like a daft solution to serve drinks in plastic, even when the bars and clubs are not within walking distance of beaches.<br /><br />Also I should imagine that knifing incidents in London far outnumber ‘glassing’ attacks in Bournemouth. So what should London do?<br />Ban the use of cutlery?<br /><br />Just because a tiny minority can’t behave themselves with a glass, knife (or chair leg, come to think of it), it shouldn’t mean that the vast majority have to suffer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-55632774229379402112012-05-14T19:38:58.711+01:002012-05-14T19:38:58.711+01:00I agree with our sentiments but (as a Bournemouth ...I agree with our sentiments but (as a Bournemouth resident) you only have your fellow man to blame for this.<br /><br />Too many fuggwits take glass onto the beaches and leave them there for others to tread on.

It is their choice and I believe that they make that decision to cut down on accidental breakages.<br /><br />There are plenty of other objects around that can be makeshift weapons, as you rightly say, wine is served in bottles and beer often is as well. But a barstool or a well-aimed fire extinguisher can cause a lot of damage too.<br /><br />If a pub refuses to serve you a drink in a proper glass then walk away, the same way as you might if a restaurant served your food on a paper plate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
