He's not old enough to buy a puncture repair kit.

Who makes the rules???????

I was in B&Q a couple of weeks ago with 11 yr old Androcles jnr.  I was told in no uncertain terms at the checkout that jnr would not be allowed to carry a tube of glue (which I had bought for him to use on his Warhammer figures) whilst on the premises.
