I have no idea about this, but one of the problems of having ethnic groups
that are at each others throats in their own country, here is that they
often continue with the same fueds when they live here. Nobody seems to be
able to look at this aspect and plan for it.

That would be racist. It's their "culture" innit? It's what enhances our
communities and provides vibrancy.

What has historically happened is foreigners come here to get away
from the feuds and bigotry in their own country, and then the bigots,
hatemongers and "religious" leaders follow them to ensure the feuds
and bigotry follow them.

Given how long such hatreds last, it is probably a legacy of the Thirty
Years' War.

"WD-40 causes irritation, redness and tearing if sprayed in the eyes, according to product safety warnings, and can seriously aggravate pre-existing medical conditions."

WTF is "tearing"?

"Pc Dave Townsend, who is investigating the incident, said: 'This was a nasty assault which came out of the blue against three men who had done nothing to provoke the offenders.

'It was an extremely reckless act, spraying such a harmful substance in people's faces, and the victims are very lucky that their vision was unaffected and they have no long-term injuries."

mmm so "harmful" that precisely no-one is any the worse off (apart from the pummeling from the low life outside).

I wonder what transpired earlier in the evening...

Forming of tears. I.e. (pretty much) crying without the emotion.

I do not know - but it is widely used in medicine. You can see it on UK
Patient Information Leaflets by the dozen. So we are expected to know
what it means!

But if you happen to read it as tearing (as in paper or strips off
apprentices) then it is utterly confusing.

(From Wiki it looks as if epiphora is insufficient drainage rather than
high production. Of course, the result is the same.)
