Denmark has just voted to drastically reduce the allowable nitrogen level in their drinking water for public health. 'Denmark is putting health protection first, opposing the deregulation agenda...' As for Ireland? Derogation talks, clean water...meh. www.greenpeace.org/eu-unit/issu...

Hey KnifePals (Do I have KnifePals?) What are some folding knives you recommend under €50? Got a voucher that works everywhere here, so don't worry about availability, just what do you like? For taste example here are my two fave fancy ones (over 50), and my budget fave I've had for 30 years.

A purple and chrome Laguiole folding knife with their distinctive art nouveau style, in a box above a classic Italian stiletto style switchblade.

Classic brass and wood folding knife with frame lock.
This picture does show it could use a clean around the brass though.

I found myself recalling the Aberfan disaster, where a collapsing slag heap buried a school, killing 116 children and 28 adults. In a matter of moments, a village lost most of its children in one accident. And the US is causing this kind of destruction deliberately. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberfan...
