I admired the grenades and told Mum about them in the morning. Mum told our host who proudly informed her that they were live. Mum threw a wobbly and I had a different bedroom the following night.

I work in Springburn, and it's not as bad as some other areas in my opinion. Milton springs to mind here; in my nine years working round this area, there have been more murders and serious assaults there than Springburm! Go figure, as they say in Murca.

Also sitting on a shelf would not cause it to go off either. Our nanny state has most people swooning and screaming in fear at the mere mention of a gun or a knife, the media has done a wonderful job of frightening the populace regards guns etc., to suit the nanny state's desperate need to control our every move from the cradle to the grave.
