you dont hear it much nowadays, this is sadly true.
Alf Garnett has a lot to answer for on this one I think, In sickness and in Health was always around the time of this particular happenstance.
I'm not sure you'd even get chance to get off the bus these days of you said it, 8 years old or not! Good old knife carrying modern day Sambo's!

'Story of Little Black Sambo' when I was little.

And it seems you still can!
