The message
from "Bob Hobden" contains these words:

Quite, so where does it leave allotment people like us, that carry a large
knife in our vehicle? Some say if you have reason to have it it's OK but
I've heard of a Thames Waterman that got badly beaten and arrested for
carrying a knife, and that's a tool of his trade, he only got off after his
union got involved.
We haven't got a union.

Isn't there an allotments' society of some sort. I'm pretty sure there is.
