Knives are the current moral panic in the UK and it seems that even esteemed hospitality weekly Caterer and Hotelkeeper hasn't avoided the hysteria.
Being a magazine that is about catering and funnily enough read by chefs it's been offering the chance to win one of five superduper knife sets thanks to the generous people at combi-oven manufacturer Rational.
However, word reaches Kitchen Rat that a local hack - local to where the magazine has its offices, that is - at the Sutton Guardian has been in contact with Rational having seen the competiton on Caterersearch.
The local journo, none too sharp we fear, apparently asked: "Isn't this a bit irresponsible, bearing in mind the level of knife crime in South London at the moment?", when he got through to the equipment manufacturer's offices.
What to say? Erm, NO!
Oh well, proof if needed that we could obviously do with more Rational people out there?
