Smiths are diversifying! Or was is a stationary one?

I've not yet seen a mobile one. Libraries, yes - but even they do have to
become stationary periodically.

It's probably because of the age warning on the box "unsuitable for children under 3 years old".

No, its probably got a packet of puzzle preserver in it and being a glue
it can't be sold below a certain age.

If that was true, all jigsaws would have to be authorised and I bet they
arent.

You don't know that that one does. Bet it doesn't.

So your claim that if one jigsaw contains glue all jigsaws would need
to be 'authorised' makes no sense. It's about as logical as claiming
because some bottles contain beer, bottles of milk can only be sold to
over 18s

Don't be silly, not all jigsaws have a sachet of puzzle preserver in them.

I've not yet seen a mobile one. Libraries, yes - but even they do have

Being DIY, I read this first as being a "proper" jigsaw.

I suppose though that a cordless jigsaw could be just as much an
effective offensive weapon as a simple knife, so perhaps should come
under the current "Not for sale to under 16's" rule.

Everyone can see I never made any such claim.

Me too at first. Then the penny dropped that it was a joke.

Perhaps it does, perhaps it doesn't.
Its only a joke if you don't know some puzzles do need approval.

The last one I had was a calendar, try looking for one that includes the
glue.

Or see if any shops sell this one
