Rustic Lady 4 Posted August 24 Report Share Posted August 24 4 hours ago, DIDO.1 said: No, it's more than that. The data (conveniently) excludes any stabbing beyond the line drawn on the Notting Hill Carnival map. Research the number of stabbings inside and outside the line in the whole area on carnival day. Someone chased and then stabbed on the next street, which happens often, is not officially counted as a Notting Hill Carnival stabbing. This helps to keep the numbers down, which most people then believe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's their licence (ce), not 'license' (se). Licence is the noun, whereas license is the verb only, unless you're American. Therefore you license (verb) someone by issuing them a licence (noun), hence we have off-licence, TV licence, driving licence etc ‒ no 's' in licence when it's a noun. Please use and preserve our beautiful English language and avoid adopting those unnecessary Americanisms. We don't want to lose what's left of our rich and wonderful English culture. xx 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
