You'd certainly get a criminal record for recklessly waving a kitchen knife around in public, even if you didn't actually hit anyone with it.

Ms Vine often dumps her kids on him to go galivanting with aristocrats, despite not being a stay-at-home mum. The kids' father is not a stay-at-home father either.
